Doesn't seem like a huge problem to overcome with a solid plastic overlay.  Just drill your overlay to position the buttons where you want them, but as close as possible to the position of the current holes.  Anyplace underneath where they don't line up perfectly, you can use a grinder just enough to give them clearance.  As long as the holes aren't so large as to prevent the nuts for the button from making solid contact with the panel (be careful you don't do this) the button nuts will screw down tight and not move.  If you do it right, it will still look perfect from the top side.

good point. that makes Neph's suggestion of moving the bottom row in line with the original A button a little more feasible. Welding, filling, and re-drilling just didn't seem worth the effort for a few mm of button relocation.

I do appreciate everyone chiming in. It probably seems like I just shrug off initial suggestions that don't meet my preformed plan, but you've all actually gotten the wheels spinning.
