Just found this "Easter Egg" in the Bride Of Pinbot swap I am doing for someone. My best guess is they had a cabinet they couldn't use and decided to recycle the wood. Anybody else find something similar? Pretty sure it was done at the factory, has a 1991 build date stamp on the edge and this is not an edge part.

However, typically the artwork is somewhat hidden by placing the decaled side towards back of game.

Not uncommon. I once worked at a place that had a Gaplus that had a piece of a Ms. Pac Man cabinet as the bottom of the cabinet.
Pieces of wood like this are likely from Overstock, or mis-painted / damaged pieces of cabinets, and what was structurally usable got recycled.

That is a travesty!
