Thanks for doing this and taking pcb photos too.

Actually nothing new because there has been previous back and forth disagreements way back during the days of when there used to be old MAME.net web site run by Gridle. There was a long ago issue in which MAME founder Nicola S. had removed a fair number of roms sets because they came from pcbs in which roms were modified via "graphics hacked". When Aaron Giles took over a lot of those early decisions by Nicola were rescinded and the removed rom sets were once again supported in MAME.

If you weren't visiting old MAME.net web site [long gone] many years earlier, you missed out on a lot of heated threads there.

Fortunately wolf676 knew where to find more info.

Not my area, but there should be others familiar with this pcb hardware that can help out.
