Both those posts were submitted to Mozilla's e-mail server which copies
via their NNTP-to-email gateway to their NNTP server (hosted at
Giganews).

OK, so if I understand you correctly, they traveled from Mozilla's
NNTP-to-email gateway to Giganews to Newshosting, where I picked them up.
They also appear on my AstraWeb feed. Thus, verifying that the Mozilla
newsgroups do indeed get peered to Usenet. Is that right?

Those are not the same post peered to 2 different NNTP
servers, but 2 different posts and at the same NNTP server.

Correct.

To prove peering, you would need to show the headers for the SAME post
(same Subject, same sender, and especially the same Message-ID) at 2
different NNTP servers. To show peering outside of Mozilla's Giganews-
hosted server, you'd have to show the same post at a different server.

The different servers are Newshosting and AstraWeb. I can't easily check
any additional servers.
