I observed a mechanic possibly install wrong parts in order to save time on a live flight that maintenance was being performed on. The mechanic was [Mechanic]. The log page is xxxxxxx. After an hour of trying to find the correct fasteners with a team of three mechanics; I find it hard to believe [Mechanic] was able to just bring and install the correct fasteners in a matter of minutes. I suspect [Mechanic] just installed what most likely would fit.
