I seem to recall the US title screen graphics in the Japanese Bad Dudes have garbage all over them in certain revisions, presumably because either they weren't ready, or they didn't want people converting boards as easily. We actually thought these ROMs were bad dumps for a long time and dropped them from MAME, but they've turned up on multiple original boards.
Two Crude had some font symbols redrawn at one point, IIRC in that case it was Japanese symbols tho, so unless the US release was first, maybe just decided to redraw them. Not actually sure we have a set that uses the redrawn tiles.
So yeah, Data East did redraw tiles over time, unlike many other manufacturers where GFX Roms were set in stone after release.
