All MAME games are darker being displayed on computer equipment (for the 99.5% of people who use computer exclusive equipment). The only way we could see a near 100% comparison is to output to actual arcade monitors.
It's hard to know with getting people with actual boards to attest to how things are displayed on their machine. The text blurb from the page you linked above doesn't really say what was done to the machine to make it 'work'.

This poor poor rare Popeye Arcade Game needed monitor repair as well, its last technician gave up on this classic. Phoenix Arcade Repair worked our magic and in 2 days we had it working like it was 1985 again!
To me, "worked our magic" is a cover term to cover anything one does to get a game at least working again, including swapping boards or roms around. There might even be an alternate prom set around which some boards have and others do not. You need cooperation from actual game owners to get much farther, I'm afraid, to dump and compare current romsets to see if there is a chance it's different.
Don't mind me, though. I'm just playing one side of an argument.
