The Namcot 129 and 163 seem to be identical. The Namcot 175 and 340 have minor but vital differences.

Namcot 129 and 163: 48-pin QFP

05 also connects to CIRAM A10
19 Some boards connect a battery (through a standard diode switch) to this pin to make the waveform memory nonvolatile
22 Some boards this is connected to +5V, some to Gnd, so probably an input
32 Some boards connect a battery to this pin instead
33 Ground this pin with if CHR's nOE and nCS lines are separate
34 Probably an input instead of a power supply, can't find an example of it being used
40 6264 /CE connected to this pin
44 Might be an enable for CHR RAM, can't find an example of it being used

01 sound was also removed
05 does NOT connect to CIRAM A10

Namcot 340: 48-pin QFP

 42\ -> ?
  41\ -> ?
   40\ -> CHR /CE (r)
    39\ -> CIRAM A10 (n)
01 sound was also removed.
