The only dump I've seen until now is a dump that I still have from a PSE's Bazooka machine made by Al Kossow a loong time ago. This dump contains the graphics for the game.
Could you take a look at this dump you have to check if it's the same that I have?
Regarding pictures, here are some of them:
A kid playing an original Taito Bazooka back there (this kid is not me!! I was prettier than that, I'm sure!! I didn't have mullets too!):
Some shots of the Bazooka II game also made by Taito:
This is the original backdrop before restoration, according to the website. I think that they did a reproduction of this piece a couple years ago, but I don't know if it turned out good or not. I'll have to check it out personally to see:
I think that this is the original Bazooka sideart:
PCB (I still don't know if this is a Bazooka or Bazooka II PCB and what is the difference between these two versions of the game):
Some other pics:
And LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I've found one guy who actually have fully restored an italian Taito Bazooka bootleg. Check his website to see all steps of this cool restoration!!! The guy has even the schematics for the game (or at least part of them):

This bootleg uses the same font for the "Bazooka" logo but it has no Taito seal next to it, and the background is different from the official Taito cabinet. The sideart is completely different too.
