I believe that COPYMOD can convert load modules into program elements
and vice-versa, so the original format shouldn't matter. Is this
correct?
All load modules can reside in a PDSE, but not all program objects can
reside in a PDS. That is, a program object must originate in a PDSE and
must reside in a PDSE target library. Therefore, the original format of
the executable can matter.
But does SMP/E also use the COPYMOD command when installing
from a LKLIB or a RELFILE?
Yes.

But can we make the switch in
midstream, and replace a load module originally delivered as ++MOD
with a ++PROGRAM? Will SMP/E recognize and require the correct
associated PREs and SUPs?
SMP/E makes no correlation between a JCLIN defined load module (and its
component ++MODs) and a like named ++PROGRAM element. While it is
possible to switch from one to the other, you do so at your own risk and
must ensure all the PREs/SUPs are identified correctly and that the load
module and MOD definitions are cleaned up accordingly.
