Wow this PCB looks super cool.
Based on the look it seems to have ENIG finishing, I suppose hard gold would have been too expensive...
(the OSP would look more copper like, the HALS or the immersion tin would be silver colored)
The good news is that is will be resolderable several times without impact on the surface quality and wetting properties 
We can't be enough thankful for the better picture quality and all the time spent on the investigations. Too bad, nowadays very few TVs have the proper analogue inputs, not to mention the side AV inputs. Shame! We need to buy AV-->HDMI converters --> Lag.
In case it will be a PCBWay Project, we may order it populated and assembled, except the special ones, like ROMs, CPU, SID. (BTW ROMs would be great to have modern EPROMs with lower power consumption).
We may cannibalize few C64 housing then, no life will be spared  (very, very satisfying LOL)
