The Oort Cloud extends to about 2ly, could it intersect with an Oort cloud around Alpha Centauri (~4ly)?

Okay, you got me thinking.  If material that formed our solar system was seeded by nearby supernovae, it seems likely to me that some of that debris could easily be floating around in interstellar space outside the direct gravitational influence of the sun.  So some comets could just be wandering around in space and not a part of the Oort cloud at all.  Anyone who can help me here?
