Write incoming relative velocity as rω and outgoing relative velocity as rσ. For isotropic scattering, the product measure dCr2drdωdσ is invariant under exchanging the two angular variables. This gives the pre/post-collision weak identities. Keeping σ fixed and sending only the velocities to the outgoing pair is not invertible: that map discards the incoming angular direction.
