I honestly don't know, I'd have to go back and look at the show. I can usually decipher between Sentai and Power Ranger footage. But considering the suit was brought over (specifically for filming the Turbo movie) it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually American footage.

I don't think the mecha in Sentai gets destroyed very much at the end of their respective series ... at least, they don't fall apart anymore, they "magically disappear in a poof of colored energy" these days.
