This links shows what is on display, and where they came from:

(Note - in Spanish, and Google translate doesn't help much with the
first link, but you can work most of it out.)
After a bit of a gap I have been busy on my 360/30 project, working
on the 1050 (console typewriter) interface so that programs can
have a sensible way of doing input and output (via a serial port.)
I love your tale of getting a real 360/30 going (I read it some years
ago, too):

Lots of interesting diagnosis & repair work.
Do you know what eventually happened to the machine after you left it?
