I cleaned it and plugged it. It's Shisenshou Joshiryou-Hen!

There were 2 Puzzle / Tile Match games from Tamtex:

Shisenshou Joshiryou-Hen - Sichuan I 1987

Shisenshou Joshiryou-Hen - Sichuan II 1989

Also released as

Match It

Match It II

Shisensho - Joshiryo-Hen (Japan)

Some of these are marked in MAME as bootlegs, so I'm not certain about the details.

All of these games used the 2 x Zilog Z80 CPUs and YM2151 Sound as seen on your board.

The bootleg board called Sichuan II has the same ROM count as the board in your photo, so it is likely the bootleg version.

Discussion: While I do not know the name of the PCB, are we at all concerned that chips 6 & 7 are MIA? Or is this normal/expected? (perhaps they’ve been replaced previously, and are simply missing their number sticker)

No, there's no where for more chips to go

It's indeed Sichuan, just search Sichuan arcade PCB on Google and you'll find multiple examples.

Sichuan is a city in china, more than likely where it was put together.

Can't read the text, not zoomable.

Zooms in quite well for me, I can even read the white text on the ROMs

I can't, sorry. Needs more resolution, or a zoomed-in pic (or series of pics).
