No need to open the machine, I searched Funet and found the docs in English:
http://www.funet.fi/pub/cbm/pet/manuals/8296supplement/8296supplement.html
It says:
The CBM 8296 is an expanded version of the CBM 8032, and is fully
software compatible with the CBM 8096. Where the hardware is con-
cerned, there are some amendments and additional options, since
the CBM 8296 has a total of 128 k RAM. The plug arrangements are
also slightly different.

Yes, maybe it's best if you first write a BASIC program that starts your ML
program. Just write:
2005 SYS 1030
Then go to TIM and look at the memory from $400 and search for the three
zeros that mark the BASIC end. After the three zeros, not the address,
convert it to decimal and change your program SYS to represent this value.
Now assemble happily to this address, and after you finish, save your program
starting from $401, then you can later LOAD and RUN it from BASIC.
