I have patched the patient's CP section into the donor ROM at offsets 0x70000 - 0x7FFFF.

If the drive still doesn't spin, then perhaps a PUIS flag has been set. I don't know where it would be located, though.

Here are the CPs. The structure is identical for both donor and patient, but the content is different.

AIUI, those old Toshibas store all their program code in the ROM. There are no additional overlays (loaders, etc) in the SA, only data modules such as SMART, G-list, P-list, security. Therefore, ISTM that the patient drive should work with the donor's ROM code, if the media is OK.

I think the serial numbers and model number are in the SN and MN CPs. I can't find the drive's serial number (93A2P011F) in either ROM.

Are you sure the PCB is native?

I can't see a manufacture date on the label of the drive.

Can you identify the YWW or YYWW (Year/Week) date codes on the ICs, including the ROM? If the ROM date code differs greatly from the other ICs, then you will know that it has been transpalneted.

If you can't do this, then post a detailed photo of the PCB and I'll do it for you. Alternatively, just tell me the markings on the chips.

ISTM that the client replaced the PCB and was unlucky to get a dud. That is unless some other DR company touched it before you ...
