Does anyone recognise these DEC cartridges?:

Any details or knowledge of what systems they may have been used with?
They're definitely digital, note the logo on the nearer one on the right.
I can't recall ever having seen them. They're associated in this instance with
80s-era biomed analysis.
It's been a while since I saw one, but they look like RC25 cartridges.
Miserable drive...
Also, anyone know what processor may have been used in
a Becton Dickinson ARTIFACS 440 cell-sorting (FACS) rack?
We're speculating there may be an embedded LSI-11.
Rob and I are assessing some surplus/scrap equipment for rescue but haven't been on
site yet.
RC25 could have been found in both PDP-11 and VAXen. I think you only
had a Qbus controller for it, though. But it's MSCP.
