As far as I know no BP Microsystems programmers supported 1702 or 2708 EPROMs.

Not sure what you mean by membrane keypad. My front panels certainly
have real buttons, which makes a clicking noise and feeling when I press
them. But maybe I'm confused and there is some membrane behind the keys
or something?

No, I am saying the marquee itself is more like the 160-A than the original
160's. It's missing the "dash A" but otherwise identical in footprint.
What gives it away as an original 160 are the fewer controls below the
numeric display compared with the 160-A.
