Nope, the original 0.10 EPROMs were a set of four 2732s which live in 
the four sockets normally used for sideways ROMs.  There's a set of 
links on the board to rearrange the chip select decoding to make those 
four sockets occupy a quarter each of the MOS space, and make the other 
socket, normally the MOS space, into the language space.  A little 
later, there was a ROM version 0.1, of course.
