The info from Cosmic Monsters manual for dips settings as follows:

--
sw1 and sw 2 Number of laser guns (ie "Lives")
sw3 upright or cocktail
sw4 extended play
sw8 coin credit

sw5-7 switches always remain in ON position
--

The Cosmic Monsters audio board and its audio sounds is probably slightly different than the Space Invaders audio sounds. Cosmic Monsters logic schematics, including audio, are accounted for.

The manual mentions the cab using a color monitor, but it looks like the roms that handle color output may have been overlooked when a pcb of Cosmic Monsters was dumped in 1990s. See flyer for reference.
