Monte Carlo was seen at the 1970 amusement show:

| Indy 500 [W-type] - インディ500 [W型] by 関西精機製作所 (Kansai Seiki Seisakusho) |
While Indy 500 was first released in 1968, 1969 is the earliest appearance of this style of cabinet, called W-type. This was the export model. Did Oriental Kogyo purchase a bunch and then redo the marquee and some of the cabinet details?
The vertical lines are missing on the Oriental Kogyo version, but the foot pedal area seems almost exactly the same.
The side art checkered flag decal was replaced with a similar one saying Monte Carlo, but the car decal is gone.
The marquee looks somewhat similar, and all of the displays and location seem to line up.
There is a sticker on the Oriental Kogyo cabinet, maybe that's a track map? But it does not appear on the Kansai Seiki original. It says "Monte Carlo Grand Prix" at the top and has a map of the course which I think it is safe to assume does not represent the gameplay.
