I think it's based on the core business of the Nikko company.

Then it is really highly speculative... Better remove those guesses...

I agree.

About the T7937(A), Arabic countries, Italy and Spain used PAL at 50hz and Brazil used PAL-M at 60Hz. So there must be something missing.

I see something amazing in the pinout:
ICE 42 I Through this pin, you can choose to use the internal CPU in the T7937 or not. The programmed option is positive.

Does it mean that this engine allows to use an external CPU that could be a Z80 or another CPU?

Wow. The final sale price is 671,67 euros. That's some serious money. I hope the money is helpful for the previous owner. And I wonder if it has been bought by someone on this forum. Will we see more of it?

On the EPROM photo above hand written MSX, I would read the 3 hand written kanjis as 見本市

Google translation translates badly. It's more like: Sample for market.

That's chump change for this kind of things.

About the region, the T6950 has a pin to configure it in NTSC/PAL, but not the T7937.

WRONG! Just do a bit of research ;-)
And this Nikko is wired for NTSC.

The fact that the pin is labeled ICE (AKA IN CIRCUIT EMULATOR) should be pretty explanatory

What is wrong? the T7937 pinout? T6950 doesn't have a pin to configure it in NTSC/PAL? Research of what? Just saying wrong is useless.
