I'll see what I can find, though I'm leaning towards no regarding the factory patches. I think you're onto something regarding the AN1X release date though, I want to see if I can replicate the patches on the P5. Repro 5 could also potentially replicate it as well, being that it is a fairly accurate prophet 5 rev 3 emulation. Also (taken from bocpages):
(Special Note): Yamaha's AN1x has also been quoted as being the blue keyboard in question. twoism.org have a thread on this, where some members have analysed the photograph, and by altering contrast etc, have stated that certain ports that only the CS1x has, are 'missing' from the back panel, thus strongly suggesting that the synth in question is indeed an AN1x. Interestingly, in recent years, numerous examples of AN1x programming to emulate/re-create BOC sounds have surfaced, demonstrating remarkable closeness to BOC, thus furthering the potential that the blue synth is in fact an AN1x.

The CS1X blurb above it on bocpages links to a photograph from the Warp 1999 lighthouse party. There's potential that it's not a CS1X at all, but an AN1X. I know if I were performing live I wouldn't want to bring an expensive, heavy analog poly synth, especially if something like the AN1X sounds close enough to a prophet 5.
