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

Namcot 175: 48-pin QFP (canonically iNES Mapper 210)
01 sound was removed 39 does not provide IRQs 42 does not allow for ROM nametables
Namcot 340: 48-pin QFP (not allocated a mapper)
42\ -> ? 41\ -> ? 40\ -> CHR /CE (r) 39\ -> CIRAM A10 (n) 01 sound was also removed.
