MBh states again and again Angirasa is Agni which makes Panchali's Agni origin very, very interesting π
Plus, the son Drupada wanted to kill Drona could only be a brahmana as kshatriyas could not kill brahmanas. So I'm inclined to think there is some truth to the possibility.
Devala's daughter being married to Drupada would've helped the adoption. Although if we go by Buddhist jatakas, Panchali was Devala's granddaughter (ie, a Yadava through her mother, Sannati). Then, Drupada killed Sannati's first husband (Kosala king) and married the pregnant woman. According to the jatakas, the older child, a son (Dhrishtadyumna presumably) was already born. ie, not twins.
