It wouldn't surprise me of the Phantom II bezel having printed text on it in order to help provide game status to a player. It is same thing with Midway Wheels bezel piece where text is printed on bezel. A reason why some bezel pieces need to be found if possible.
I bought Phantom II paperwork (mainly for discrete audio info) and it also came with the card instruction piece. I am not sure where on the cab it would be placed (likely along bezel) unless having a decent photo of the front side of the cab.
