That's a (previously unknown?) version of Galaxy Game, one of the very
earliest arcade games! Compare with the PALX listing and schematics
here:

Bitsavers has some photos of the hardware at CHM too:

There's a driver for this hardware in MAME (galgame); it'd be
interesting to bring up this version and see how it differs.
