I'm not sure about your interpretation. It's a double-sided PCB. I think the vias are what you're calling test points. It looks fairly standard to me.

Hm, fair enough. It's the staggered and widely separated rows that are strange to me.

The photo I saw before was at an angle and I didn't see that some of those spots went 'nowhere'. Looking again at the top down photo/diagram linked above I do see that they're vias now.
