I know the PCB is the same, and the complete CPO (including the wood, buttons, joysticks, and wiring thereof) is obviously different, but what else on the cabinet would need to be changed over? Was the sideart and marquees the same?
 
Yes the artwork should all be the same. Any 2 player cab should just have trimmed 4 player artwork. I've never seen any special 2 player artwork at least. The only 2 player version I'm aware of was a Japanese release as seen in MAME. Any 2 player cab you see is a conversion, but you could make it a 4 player if you have enough room on the control panel.

for whatever reason, they run different rom sets as well. unlike civilized games that allow for BOTH 2 and 4 players via a dipswitch. :(

though I'm gonna go on a limb and say that just the game roms are different... probably cause the on-screen arrangements for the players and handling of player selections are totally different.
