I have some closure now... Perhaps the person I bought this from off ebay could give you answers on where they got it from. It would be a wild-goose chase but its worth a shot.
Update. Found the original seller and got a hold of him. I received the following message from him:
"I believe they were from Culture Brain's Japanese studio. I purchased a number of them from Japan a few years ago and some had Culture Brain stickers on them. It seems as if a storage unit of their stuff got liquidated. There were tons of new old stock Culture Brain games flooding the market at the same time. I have a few other Famicom and Super Famicom prototype boards in my collection from then also. They are pretty cool "
He had a decent idea it maybe could have been a cart to obtain screen shots of a game possibly after he read the translation. Anyone one ever heard of anything like that?

Seems entirely likely, given the special pause feature that seems to have been included.
