Given the way MAME works, I don't think there can be a such a difference between audio that much if it were not explicitly coded into the game. Wikipedia has some observations between Japanese and US version - they all seem valid. So many differences lends some validity to the fact that the music was intended to be like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Land#Arcade_Versions I'll confirm pending some input from Devs in the know - I am leaning towards this not being an actual bug.
