I've  added a photo of the component side of the 8051 PCB  at:

J1-2 is  connected directly to pin 6 of the uC which is also connected to 
the  output of the 78D05 regulator.


--------------------
Yes it seems to be, but if you check you'll find that it's not actually a  
direct connection.
 
J1-2 and pin 6 of the uC are connected together and then connected to the  
bottom of what's marked as D3 in your photo.
 
D1, 2 and 3 are in series between the regulator output and the processor  
pin 6 but it's these that have been replaced with zero ohm links so metering  
will show a direct connection.
 
It's these links need to be removed and replaced with diodes as per  
Didier's original schematic.
