Do Galaga cabs have vinyl originally or black paint only on the sides?

I am in the process of cleaning up my Galaga cabinet and I want to know what's original. thanks

Mine appears to have melamine finish. If it were vinyl the Citrastrip would turn it to butter. The Galaga upright cabinet serial # is 9241. Curious to see if others with a different serial number range have different finishes.
 
All I've ever had contact with were melamine (probably 5 or 6)....a lot of people mistake melamine for vinyl.

Pretty rare, but there were a handful of Galaga's in plywood cabinets that also used the huge DC power supply from the last Ms Pacs.

I've got one and originally suspected it was a bootleg after having a bunch of Galaga's, it turned out to be one of the first ones where they used Ms Pac cabs. The harness also has a "Master Harness #2" tag handwritten on it and the metal control panel is slightly thinner than later versions.
