the paraphrase means the same?

It involves finding deep in the bowels of a military hospital in Washington a couple of tissue samples from the lungs of soldiers who died in 1918.

Hi, Is the sentence above expressing something nearly as I rephrased it below?

It involves a couple of tissue samples, which have been found deep in the bowels of a military hospital, from the lungs of soldiers who died in 1918. or,

It involves the findings, the tissue samples from the lungs of soldiers who died in 1918, which have been recovered from the deep bowels of a military hospital.
