sorry ..forgot to speak to the "why" part of your question

this is because like me in those days people interested in chess computers would
"UPGRADE" a module instead of buying a whole new module
this was MUCH cheaper to do

so many would have upgraded and most times not even kept or even received back
the Glasgow Eprom(program)

another reason is that Mephisto was not sold in great quantites in North America
until after their win in 1985
before that Fidelity won the titles(with a one year win by Scisys )

Best
