So, like I said, why isn't the Arcade version in the System field, and does the Arcade version use different hardware? Wouldn't it sound different? Is it a port? Shouldn't the Arcade version of the pack be posted in a different section? Like Arcade: Nintendo? Was it Nintendo Arcade?
Most of cases yes, most of cases yes², yes, system dependent, the choice is yours. Nintendo games from Arcade range from 1978 to 1990, a few of them are loggable into the VGM format. And starting from 1983-84, Nintendo makes arcade boards based on his home consoles. They are:
• Nintendo Vs. System, an arcade system based on NES, but with several hardware improvements;
• PlayChoice-10, an arcade system based on NES, with extra hardware;
• FamicomBox, a Hotel videogame unit based on Famicom;
• Nintendo Super System, an arcade system based on SNES;
• Super Famicom Box, a Hotel videogame unit based on Super Famicom;
• Seta Aleck64, an arcade system based on Nintendo 64;
• Namco / Sega Triforce, two arcade systems with different configurations based on GameCube.
Only Vs. Series are the unique exceptions to this, because the games are a bit changed from the original NES versions. Some Vs. games are ported for the FDS (e.g.: Vs. Excitebike and Vs. Clu Clu Land).

Therefore, the "AC" information in the first one is redundant? Is it safe to ignore it?
Also, are you the only one to use this sort of info?
Yes, because it credits the original author of the original music. You can remove it if you want.
