Any reason to think it's not an MVS-4?
Don would know better than me.
Here are pics of the cab I have which is a similar form factor as the one you have.
Note the one and two player markings as well as the SNK badge on the front kickplate panel.
The back of mine is painted black.
I've been wrong before, many times.awesome don. Again you show how you are at the top of your game.
A local customer showed me these pics and I was like thats not a SNK Neo Geo. I figured that it was either a nice clone or an other territory machine but nothing on Hard MVS looks like this. His CP is a little wider than a standard US Neo Geo metal CP also.
The clear part where this isnt official are the buttons through the credit indicator LED locations on the CP. And lack no of credit counters on the CP
I think the second cab in your post #11 is exactly the same cab as in post #1 and #2. The Metal Slug 4 marquee, those very faded Burning Fight and Super Sidekicks 2 marquees look exactly the same. Some damage on the side panel just left of the control panel. The Bust-A-Move marquee that was in it in post #1 looks like its on top of the marquee, so might have been removed and the Strikers 1945 could have always been underneath. And it still has the 'No Refunds, Play at your own risk' sticker on the marquee. The lock bar was removed and patch, and got a fresh coat of paint which covered up the side art and a few buttons replaced.
Could be wrong, but I think its the same one.
Other than that, it seems telling that every one of these has very late release Neo games in them. Slug 4, Slug 5, KOF 2003. Which would lend some circumstantial evidence to me to support your idea that someone was making these in the late 90s or maybe even early 2000s as a way to get a new cab out on location with the new MVS games and a few of the old ones that would have been dirt cheap at the time.
