Seems unlikely, as the 6503 through 6507 are 28-pin chips, while the 6502 is a 40-pin chip. More likely the legend is smudged so that the 2 looks like a 3, or it's a typo.My //e Platinum has a chip labeled as a 6503 too. Same chip. It's Mexican and has a logo I don't recognise. Sort of looks like an Atari logo inside an oval. The chip is definitely 40 pin too. I have no idea why it is labeled 6503.
Mexican? Maybe it's because "sesenta cinco oh dos" didn't sound as good.
