Decided to try checking another ROM which may or may not be a proto... I hope MAME actually figures it out sometime.
Comparing it to other versions, there are some graphical bugs, but it's hard to tell whether that's actual proto-bugginess or bad emulation. It does not seem obviously different otherwise, though there may be some subtle mechanical or layout differences I didn't notice.
EDIT: On a further check it just clicked on me that this is the only MAME ROM of G.I. Joe that is meant for a 2-player cabinet. The other ones are designed for 4-player cabinets.
NOTE: Apologies if you don't like the credit-feeding style of gameplay.
