Was this originally a Centipede?

I concur with the 'yes' votes. Although I'd know 100% if I could see the rear corner which is hidden from view.
 
I would say yes. That shape and single coin door. all the other usual suspects have over/under coin doors.

yeah, i was just doing a quick look on the klov main site. looks like centipede was the only cab that style with a single coin door. kangaroo and dig dug both used over/under.

You can tell it is a Centipede without seeing the lower rear corner (you don't need to see the coin door either for that matter). The section of the side panels between the control panel area and the marquee area is wider on a Centipede than on a Dig Dug, Kangaroo, or Arabian:

Those two cabs are different. That lower notch cut out of the rear corner usually (from what I've heard) signifies a Dig Dug. Maybe I'm wrong?

They are different. I think what he is trying to say is that you can tell by the size of the monitor cutout. Also the angle by the monitor intersects the control panel in a different spot. He is trying to point out another difference. The one on the right is a Dig Dug/Kangaroo/Arabian cab.

But yes, you are correct, the back corner cut lets you know the same thing. Centipede is square cut in the back.

Yes, that picture is showing the difference between a Centipede and a Dig Dug / Arabian / Kangaroo. The white angled line superimposed on each picture helps illustrate the difference.
