I don't see evidence of the boards being modified by a 3rd party
per se (other than a poor soldering job when compared with the rest of the
board).
The most obvious modification appears to be passive capacitors (1206), wire,
and globs of solder.
It would be more probable that the supplier made a mistake or wished to
improve the circuit and did a hack job instead of iterating the PCB,
which would be a more expensive operation for the supplier.
