Maybe not the "exact" pattern using the same hair, wire rib, tying style...etc. But certainly something that would have caught fish due to the same attributes that Al Troth envisioned.

For instance...I no longer tie the EHC in the classic manner even though Al's version is what I am working off of. I do not use the rib, do not use his same tying sequence, and I add a slight chin to the pattern.

Somebody would have done it. But probably not exactly like Al Troth did it. That's why he will remain a piece fo our flyfishing history.
