coolmod dumped a prototype of Star Wars Trilogy that has only 2 of the scenarios seen in the final game and with many things different and with a "COMING SOON" at the end of the game.
coolmod also dumped a version of Virtual On Oratorio Tangram that is either the no rev version or a prototype prior to the no rev version.
coolmod also dumped a version of Fighting Vipers 2 that is either the no rev version or a prototype prior to it.

Star Wars Trilogy (the Model 3 game)
Star Wars 'Arcade' is the Model 1 game. There's still some debate as to if it was even called "Star Wars Arcade", and not "Sega Star Wars" however, plenty of sources indicate only the 32X version was called Star Wars Arcade, to show that it was a port of the Arcade game. Some others say that the Japanese flyers or cabinet explicitly call the Model 1 game Star Wars Arcade (but none of the ones I've found do, at least not in English)

FWIW, when the deluxe giant-screen two-player sit-down version was at the Tomorrowland Starcade at Disneyland (c. early 2000s), I remember the marquee just saying “Star Wars.” I specifically noticed that the game and all the instructions on the artwork were in Japanese, so that seems to debunk the theory that the Japanese cabinet bore the “Arcade” moniker.
I took another look at the commonly circulating Japanese flyer, and checked whether the tiny katakana underneath the title said “Arcade”, but nope, it’s just “Star Wars” in kana. I think this was just a case where they put “Arcade” on the 32X title to denote it as different from other Star Wars games, or (even more likely) hype up that “look, this can do reasonably accurate reproductions of recent arcade games that existing systems could never hope to handle” angle that every new console used into the 00s.
It confused me as a kid, when all I had ever seen in the arcades was the Atari game, but the title could have been more effective in Japan where gamers would have actually been aware of the source arcade game. (Though it obviously still didn’t save the 32X from being as big of a flop in Japan, if not bigger, than it was in North America.)
