Well at least some good news - all of the chips I pulled (other than those on the daughterboards I can't test until I get replacement daughterboards) have matching IDs to those ack posted earlier!
I have ordered the daughterboards (both single and double) - I believe I have an older 161 in 1 I can pilfer another flash chip from or failing that, my original plan was to have a smaller number of games on the cart anyway
Edit: My older 161 in 1 is populated entirely with 55LV100 so I will need to reduce my game list instead and stick with the original 3 flash chips. I removed all the soccer games except Soccer Brawl, Mahjjong, quiz and Stakes Winner and I think I'm good to go once the new daughterboards arrive
Additional edit: Wow, I knew the flash chips would take a bit to program but it really is a long time
Additional edit:
There has been another casualty unfortunately - my S1 ROM will not program at all. Initially it would crash at around 25% but now it either won't start or it crashes instantly
Looking at the prices these chips sell for it's not feasible to try and resurrect this cart at all. I'll still finish it just so I understand the process, but definitely going to need a new cart
