An old 1984 replay magazine article said that the first batch of cabinets were made in Japan by Data East (which have the 2 piece Data East coin door), and the later cabinets were made in the US by Dynamo.
There are also Data East ads stating that the "single player" version are field test only and accounted for, and only the "player vs. player" version is the only "legal" version released in the US.
That said, I don't believe one cabinet was specifically designed for one version over the other. In fact, I would guess the single player version should have only one set of joysticks.
Oddly, the version I grew up playing was the single player version - in the same city as Data East's US headquarters. I can't recall what the CPO looked like though, but I recall it having the standard over/under door which would make it the Dynamo cabinet.
