I think it's as believable as not that it's a pre-release version. Capcom may have "churned out versions like they were going out of style", but 2 days between builds is shockingly low. And last I checked, this guy wasn't trying to sell his PCB, so I don't know why you would give so much of a shit what PCB sellers do. It's a really weird hill to die on.
