That looks like a "let's replace faded side-art with a stencil" job.

But, credit where credit is due: they could've just painted it black or an off-blue!

Occam's Razor would indicate "no".

Not a prototype... Just a bad paint job.

The REAL prototype for Ms. Pac-Man is called 'Crazy Otto', and for some reason, has never been seen in public, except for ONE photo that appeared in Time Magazine, back in the 80's.

It's essentially Ms. Pac-Man. but the main character has legs, and is male. GCC took this game to Midway to sell as an upgrade for Pac-Man machines. Instead, Midway just said "Let's talk sequel...", since Namco hadn't started designing Super Pac-Man, yet.
