Does the PAL version of Atari 2600 Smurf usually have "Sample" printed on the ROM? I got one without a case that does and the colors are off when I tried it so I figure it might be the PAL version. The Smurf's skin is reddish brown instead of Smurfish blue.

Here are some pics. I'll probably put it on eBay soon since I don't collect Smurf.

Interesting, the chip is socketed as well. Wonder if the ROM is any different.

Is there a way to dump these with an EPROM programmer or would I be foiled by internal bankswitching?

Yeah, it's 8K, so it would be hard to dump with an EPROM programmer. The chip select line would also need to be inverted.

Does it look the same in a 2600 than a 7800?

Yes. I tried it on my Ben Heck VCSp before I shipped it (just sold the VCSp). Looks the same.

How does one dump 8k carts?
