Engadget is a gadget reporting site, not a site devoted to tearing down and reading chips.

If iFixit couldn't figure it out, then the only people who probably CAN are a group of electrical engineers who would have to desolder (SMT, natch!) the chips from the board and hook 'em up to a chip reader-type device.

Not for the faint of heart.

I'm pretty sure that Apple just got rid of BT on this one. It's clear that the two iPods are different boards, and use different chips. Why would they want you to have BT so you could use it as a VoIP phone? They're not that stupid.
