None of the images show the other side of the board, but unless every trace is visible, it will be difficult to non-destructively inspect. If its only a 2 layer board then this just means scratching off the white silkscreen, which wouldn't be too bad. If its more than 2 layers, you would have to have access to an X-ray machine.

it's a two layer board - no buried wires or vias - by design there are very few wires on the bottom layer, none under the noise source (we want to contain the noise) - you can see all the wires without removing the solder mask just by holding it in the right light

we'll be publishing the layout files of course
