ProtoVessel.Parts list empty while recovering

[Tsynique]

I am dealing with onVesselRecoveryProcessing(ProtoVessel pv, MissionRecoveryDialog dialog, float recoveryFraction) event method.

What I need is a List<> of Parts that the recovered vessel contains. Problem is the pv object which is of type ProtoVessel for some reason doesn't contain any Parts: all possible lists are empty. ProtoVessel.vesselRef didn't help either. In the method which is called before this one - OnVesselRecoveryRequested(Vessel v) - Vessel type object AND ProtoVessel type objects cointain Parts normally. However, when recovering from SpaceCenter or TrackingStation that method is not called.

What I managed to do was find the ConfigNode of the VESSEL from FLIGHTSTATE node which contains all the parts. Problem with that is that it contains very different values and converting manually (with a wrapper function) seems rather unreasonable.

So, my question is, is there are a way to sanely (not manually) convert a PART from FLIGHTSTATE to "normal" PART? I have added a comparison below.

OR alternatively is there a way to force the ProtoVessel object or it's related Vessel object to repopulate their Part Lists<> in the onVesselRecoveryProcessing() method?

Any help will be very appreciated!
