The 8375 comes in lots of different flavours.

Yours is a 318069-17 which is a 1MB part, NTSC only. The PAL/NTSC pin has been repurposed to Vbb.

Your board appears to be correctly configured for this revision of the Agnus.

And as you suspected, it is not possible to force to PAL in hardware, you must do it in software. If you wish to convert this machine, you should find a 318069-16 chip, which will be directly compatible with your motherboard configuration. I also recommend swapping the 28MHz oscillator to the PAL variant for full timing compatibility.
