network-console images are the ones which run the installer as a ssh
server for headless systems. netboot is just the regular installer
which assumes a console and/or serial port.

It depends on whether a NSA325 typically has a console/serial or is
headless. It sounds like it is headless in which case network-console
is probably the one you want.

Not that I know of, other than git log on the relevant components to
see what the last guy did I guess.
For headless you might also be interested in oldsys-preseed which tries
to extract things like network cfg from the factory firmware of various
platforms for the installer to use (makes it a bit easier to find the
headless device on your network etc).
I don't know about the authorized keys stuff you are trying to do,
sorry.
