I think it's very likely that the clone that Oliver blew up in the truck in Requiem could have been more than just a clone. I pointed out how an interesting connection between Requiem & Echo was the Toyman. It's possible the real Lex prior to Requiem took one of his clones from Cadmus & gave him to the Toyman so he could outfit him as a prototype cyborg. This would mean that a Cadmus Lex clone was taken and his organs were removed & replaced with robotic components. We did see a lot of wiring hooked up to that clone in Requiem. And we did see a fully functioning cyborg of the Toyman himself in Echo. Compared to the Toyman cyborg, the Lex clone in Requiem could have easily passed as an early stage cyborg.
Besides explaining a collaboration between Lex & the Toyman, a prototypical Lex cyborg would serve multiple purposes for the real Lex Luthor. It would enable him to set up the scenario he did to split Clark & Lana up, enable him to destroy/ruin Oliver by getting him to kill enable him to convince the public that Lex Luthor was dead so nobody would look for him anymore. Any metallic components of the cyborg could have been mistaken as parts of the truck after the explosion. I think that wiring & voice modulator device attached to the Lex clone in Requiem is a big piece of evidence that the Lex in that episode was a clone turned into a cyborg.
