It looks like a 1940's tele-printer or fax

not a UK one. Wrong sort of windows and no signs that big on any UK train.
You might be on to something about the Northwest Airlines; I thought it looked
more like a train carriage (sides too straight for most plane fuselages) - but
then someone over on TNMoC found a photo of a Boing 377 which is remarkably
slab-sided (and would fit date-wise).
There almost looks to be some sort of line/join across the top, just above the
'T' (which in itself is rather obscured by the foreground window) - seems a
little out of place on a streamlined plane fuselage (and therefore more in
keeping with a railway carriage), but maybe it's just paintwork.
Afraid it's unknown as to which country the photo was taken in :-(
The oblong console windows seem to have some sort of
printer behind them.
The square windows have what looks like paper tape punches or high speed
tape readers behind them.
Yes, I'm not sure if they're control logic or just some sort of I/O device
with acoustic shrouds fitted.
