I am wondering why the writers of the catholic epistles would not mention
such a thing.  Also, if Paul replaced Judas it seems to me that the
pro-paulists who composed the deutero-paulines would have made use of it to
boost his profile- to stuff his resume so to speak.
This is, of course, an argument from silence--- but silence can tell us a
great deal.

I am very interested in your theory- and hope that you post it so that we
can all have a look in detail.
