Does anyone know if those unknown bytes in the CPS2 security RAM are the same in various copies of the same board?

It might be something silly, like a marker for the date the security code was compiled / configured, or just a serial code or board info.

they are suspected to be upper encryption limit and sprite control register addresses, but this haven't been confirmed.
