Stefan.
Looks like a one-off to me (perf-board construction). But looks
professionally made: leds line up and are evenly spaced, wire is
neatly tied up, heat shrink tubing for strain relief, etc.
It looks like a switch is recently missing (P1/P2), you can still
see the accumulated gunk around the hole where it used to be,
and what looks like some loose wires.
It apparently received power from whatever it was plugged
into.
I'm guessing it is some kind of alignent gear, where you adjusted
the equipment under test until the lit led was at 0.
Have you tried to power it up and see what happens? I'd guess
you should be able to attach 5v to the appropriate places on any
of the IC's.
Part of a cylon suit?
