Pics aren't too clear, but that extra board glued into the case isn't standard, so it would seem so.

There were/are two ways to chip an RST ECU - originally the large main chip was replaced (it's under the large clip with x & T wrriten on in marker) but the actual blank chips bacame hard to get hold of, I believe.

The second method was with a seperate board that interfaced with the main ECU board, which is the type you appear to have.

I think from memory, BBR and MSD and possibly a couple of other tuners did the seperate boards. Not got a clue who did your one though.
