Fairly obvious I would have said. The Olympic authorities will have a very carefully thought out press strategy which will involve a number of media 'teasers', followed by unveiling the whole format for the opening ceremony when they judge the time is right. Any deviation from the, probably very expensive, plan would totally negate the impact it is planned to have. 

The bell is clearly a teaser and White hapel is sworn to silence. 

I would have said the likelihood of it being cast anywhere other than in the UK is virtually nil.
