The chips has an Apple p/n and a Moto logo. Not sure why you think it would be replaced. The soldering looks factory and I have two boards with the exact same markings. As for why there is sloppy solder, I agree it was part of an upgrade at one time. But there are several that required soldering to the CPU - even some SCSI upgrades.

I'll believe you Unity. From my 68K Classics I have, the printing looks different and I never seen an Apple Part number on the CPU on the units I have; this lead me to believe that the CPU was swapped.
