Question about my Romstar cabinet which was converted to MvSF by previous owner

Here are some pics of my cabinet. I was trying to figure out the manufacturer of this cabinet since it was distributed by Romstar. Looking at the pamphlets that were inside the cabinet this was originally a Final Blow that the last owner turned into a Marvel Vs. Street Fighter. This game has the slide out tray like the Dynamo but the control panel only measures 25 1/4 inches which means it is smaller than the brochures of the HS-2 which say they were 28 inches across.

So my question is did Dynamo sell the cabs to Romstar to distribute or did Romstar make their own cabs. Mainly because my cab is a smaller than anything I can find from Dynamo or did Dynamo make some smaller cabs in the 80s?

I would really like to know what kind of cabinet I have here. It is actually in really great shape but playing this game on a 19" in kind of lame.

*EDIT Oh and I am aware that X-Men Vs. Street Fighter is in the cabinet right now as I have a couple CPS2 boards in the closet.

I would say dynamo just cause of the cut corner cp, I have a 25" dynamo but I dont think its an hs-5 and also dont know which model number so its likely you just cant find yours as well?

It's a Dynamo HS-2. The dimensions on the flyer are probably estimates for shipping purposes.

Seems to be an HS-2 then. I was just confused by the dimensions and the fact that the cab has a Romstar logo on it and a Romstar serial of 61-0325 but no mention of Dynamo anywhere on the cab.
