SF2 launched when Capcom was ordering cabs through Dynamo. (later on to use other builders like 3KOAM and Hanaho also)
The answer is yes and no. If you accept yes then the dedicated was a factory installed kit that came in a Dynamo HS1 with a specifically punched corner cut CP. The punch buttons happen to be inline with the joystick holes. Later on they corrected this where the joystick was centered between the punch and kick buttons.
These HS1s were really no different than other games that kits were applied to at the time. Some might say that a factory installed kit isn't really dedicated.
In particular I have and have seen Dynamo cabs that list the serial of the cab type as well as the game that shipped in it. I have one for SF2 in a HS2 and also SFIII:NG in a HS5.
your original question is covered in this thread.

That's interesting. I knew there were SFII:CEs that were factory installed in HS-5 cabinets, complete with a label on back with the name of the game, but I didn't know about SFII:WWs factory installed in HS-1 cabinets. Did those also have a label on back with the name of the game? I'd love to see a picture of something like that.
I don't get the argument that these aren't dedicated. If a game came complete from the factory, it is dedicated. Do the people that argue that these aren't dedicated also argue that Ikari Warriors is not dedicated? Those were the same deal; factory installed in a Dynamo HS-1.
I see both sides of the arguement but it doesn't matter. Many people feel and wish that Capcom did something more special than just make the dedicateds out of generic cabs. I wish they even did something with a special marque or topper for WW. The side art was not even full art. Just a square Horrible image. I have lots of old reference art from books and I always
Wait I don't actually recall that the Dynamo SF2's rear badge say anything about SF2 actually. I just know from other symptoms that it's an original. Esseyo's HS1 had no other CPO's under the original. The board also had no other screws to mount the PCB other than the WW that was in there. Inside it was completely unmolested and having all signs pointing to the fact that it was dedicated. My HS2 says Dowel on the back of it but it's a dedicated w/ zero signs of being a conversion.
This SFII had a sticker serial plate on the back from Capcom...

And that looks to me to be a HS5 25" monitor.

There is this SF1 cab on CL right now(not mine but I think it belongs to someone here). If someone needs a SF1 pcb. I have a tested working one..

I'm in the camp that sees dedicated as the cabinet the pub/dev/warehouse shipped to their customers. Otherwise we are on a slippery slope towards calling some Pac-Mans, Ms. Pac-Mans and Galagas non-dedicated because the production line had to repaint and swap cabs that did not change in physical design.
