The only flaw i see is that the ISO's name "test_mbr.iso" does not match
its partition table type "gpt". But that is not visible any more when the
ISO is on the USB stick.

So these machines probably really don't like the GPT.

What happens if you give them an ISO with MBR partition table:

  xorriso \
    -stdio_sync off \
    -compliance no_emul_toc \
    -indev "$original" \
    -outdev test_mbr.iso \
    -boot_image any replay \
    \
    -boot_image any appended_part_as=mbr

Have a nice day :)
