Did you mean that the return-address may not be identical to the address of

Sure, that is the case when there is an intermediate destination.
See RFC821, "2. THE SMTP MODEL", paragraph 2:

"Once the transmission channel is established, the SMTP-sender
 sends a MAIL command indicating the sender of the mail."

Note that it not says "... indicating the originator of the mail."

In "3.2 FORWARDING" error 551:

"The receiver refuses to accept mail
 for this user, and the sender must either redirect the mail
 according to the information provided or return an error
 response to the originating user."

Again, 'sender' and 'originating user' are different.
