Only 74xx glue on the solder side.

U4 32G0215(ESD) is used on all versions. There seems to be a connection between the later production dates and the "00-04" revision of the WD33C93B.

Y2 39.9500 MHz osc, provides input clock for the WD33C93B
   "When the 33C93B has an input clock between 16 and 20 MHz, ... the host can select... Fast synchronous transfers with a peak rate of 10 MB/s on both the SCSI and host DMA interfaces."

I also suspect that 39.9500 MHz osc is used to provide the clock (suitably divided) for other components.

Three possible firmware chips, the socketed PLCC44 (U26), the socketed DIP-20 (U22), and the surface mounted PLCC (U47) above the 80C186XL20.

I see two digital signal regenerators (DL1,2) between the DIP-20 and the 32G0215.

J1 (also called P3) High Availability Jumper

Must be out of the circuit for high availability ("Y") configuration. Put the jumpers over one row only so you don't loose them. There are 13 pairs of pins. You will need a 6 and 7 pair berg jumper (ganged jumper) in order to use this for normal SCSI configuration.

So, can we make a kludge of an internal terminator using the J1 headers? DIP or SIP resistor network?

FPT Terminators (from HERE)

Terminators: The FPT-3 is generally used on the the internal end of the cable, and the FPT-18 is used on the external end of the cable.

non-FPT: passive. Internal/External SCSI bus limited to two external devices.
FPT-3: actively terminates only three SCSI bus lines: ACK, REQ, SEL.
FPT-18: active. 18 lines of SCSI bus, [eight data lines]. No longer manufactured.
FPT-18+: active. 18 lines Functionally equivalent and fully interchangeable with FPT-18.

More on FPT Terminators (from HERE)

FPT is an even better form of active termination, in which diode clamps are added to eliminate signal overshoot and undershoot. The trick is that instead of clamping to +5 and ground, these terminators clamp to the output of two regulated voltages. This arrangement enables the clamping diodes to eliminate signal overshoot and undershoot, especially at higher signaling speeds and over longer distances. FPT is technically not found in the SCSI specifications but is a superior type of termination for SE applications that experience high levels of electrical noise.

FPT terminators are available in several versions. FPT-3 and FPT-18 versions are available for 8-bit standard SCSI (Figure 7.18 shows the schematic for an FTP-18 terminator), whereas the FPT-27 is available for 16-bit (Wide) SCSI. The FPT-3 version forces the three most highly active SCSI signals on the 8-bit SCSI bus to be perfect, whereas the FPT-18 forces all the SCSI signals on the 8-bit bus except grounds to be perfect. FPT-27 also forces all the 16-bit Wide SCSI signals except grounds to be perfect.

Same P/N (52G4259) and EC (D18561). My SWAG is that IBM moved from the AMP metal shell to the black one due to cost. I can't verify the electronics being the same, but they probably are...
