Perhaps, but /bin/rm and /bin/cp are staticly linked, so the message

strings /bin /rm doesn't show that string.

Anway:

  $ echo $SHELL
  /bin/ksh
  $ which rm
  /bin/rm
  $ ls -l ccreply.rex
  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  4674 Oct  3 12:11 ccreply.rex

I presume your current directory is owned by root and not writable by you.

Yes.
Since you're using ksh, try "whence -v cp rm".

$ whence -v rm cp
rm is a tracked alias for /bin/rm
cp is a tracked alias for /bin/cp
