What do you get when you read it? If we can't be sure which data are good and which are bad, then the recovery will be even more difficult. I've looked at the RAP and so far most of it seems good, at least as far as bit shifts go.

I'm assuming that any data after a 0x1000-byte boundary is good.

I will get this to you tomorrow.

That would be good. I'm almost finished repairing the SAP, but if my assumptions are wrong, then it would be pointless to continue.

I can confirm that the data on the physical ROM is identical to the ROM dump
Which is also identical to the OPs original copy.
So we have what we have unfortunately.

Then I don't understand why the bit shifts are in opposite directions, which doesn't give me any confidence in my repairs. Sorry.
