Only if the runs where high enough and they couldn't just use an 
existing die and just bond it out differently. I'm certain, the 6510T in 
the 1551 is just a differently bonded 6510 that passed a test for 2 MHz. 
Putting the pinouts side by side is very suggestive.

Same if you do it for the 6525A and the 6523T.

No one will part with a working 6523T, you'd need to get your hands on a 
defective one.

Yes, unfortunatly. Would have been nicer to keep the static design when 
it comes to address lines and run everything through the multiplexers as 
well (as was done with TED later). But I think the 6567 doesn't have 
enough Pins to do that since you'd still need _RAS and _CAS.
