Secret images of prototype hardware? (EBGames.com)

I'm sure this is nothing...
but my internet is being a jerk right now...
so further research is a challenge....

maybe you can help.

i noticed these images on the EBGames.com page for XBX House of the Dead III

i think its just the arcade version hardware...

but it definately doesnt belong there....

so could it be a hack?

what do you think?

i'll try and copy the images before they're gone...

I'm not by any means an authority on the subject (so if anyone could back me up/correct me, that'd be awesome), but I'm 99.9% sure that the arcade machine was based off of the Xbox hardware (probably a good reason why the console version was released within months of the arcade machine, and before the Japanese console release). But that certainly doesn't explain why a seller of the console version would be showing off pictures of the cabinet internals.

EDIT: Beaten to the punch.:cry:
