This is not uncommon! Many machines, especially from the 1970s and before, are made by a manufacturer and then sold (distributed) by another company.
There is a variant of the popular 新幹線ゲーム (Shinkansen Game) called 新幹線ゲームⅡ・宇宙 (Shinkansen Game II; Space) and we know 新幹線ゲームII was manufactured by ニシキ製作所 (Nishiki Seisakusho). The "Space" variant reuses the art from コインロケット (coin rocket)!
