There's the difference... I'm getting the e9250t with the i5 Lynnfield processor. Guess it was a bit naive to assume that all versions are using the same brand of motherboard.
The spec sheet was a bit hard to find. I went to the Software and Drivers page and looked up the model. On the next page is a link for Product Information. That leads to a page with a document named
HP Pavilion Elite e9250t Product Specifications and Configurable Options... here's the link:

The motherboard is listed as MSI MS-7613.
Here's the link to the same document for the e9280t:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01911661&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us〈=en&product=4066665
And as you stated, it has a different motherboard, model AND manufacturer.
Hope your experience continues to be a good one!
