I've spent the last 18 years studying unreleased NES games and I'm the project lead on the SNK 40th Anniversary Collection for Switch so this is pretty much the perfect question for me!
That triangle art and logo is lifted directly from the U.S. version of the arcade flyer, and I have no reason to believe that SNK at any point planned an NES version of this game. I'm 99% sure that SNK U.S. was just delivering whatever art they felt like for the stickers, regardless of whether it was for NES or not. I know it's tempting to point out that all of the other stickers are for NES games, but I'll counter that by pointing to Touch Down Fever. Yes, Touch Down Fever was released for the NES...in 1991, whereas the rest of these games are SNK and Tradewest titles from around 1988. The Touchdown Fever sticker is literally the arcade flyer, with the arcade screenshots. The arcade version was released in 1987.
