The adapter PCBs only do two things as you have noted - remap the 
pinouts and provide pincoushion correction.

Uh, you can take a quick look a thte pinouts for each and see that the 
video outputs on Major Havoc are quite different than either Space Duel 
or Gravitar. So, I would say no to this question.

Here are some details on the conversion PCBs that I cobbeled together 
earlier this year:
