Boot with BASIC.

Side A: Good

Side B: Has 4 missing and 1 stable CRC.  They do not go away with -p. I do not know if it is copy protection. I included 4 tries.  A directory of disk two is below.

Your dump is quite weird.
It seems to be a crack copied onto the complete protected game.

As I recall people had a hacker utility named Chipmunk which required the owner of the original to make a copy of the original and then the Chipmunk program would update a sector or a few sectors with revised code intended to "crack" the programs protection code and the result would ideally be a non-protected version of the original program. If you mistakenly used Chipmunk on the original disk complete with protection schemes you could very easily create a non working protected program disk as you are describing here.
