The pedestal RX02s are around, but pretty rare. I think they were part
of a PDP-8 based word processor (VT78?), and/or part of the smaller
PDT11 systems.
You can easily google pictures of the VT78, and it has the same two RX01 (or
if it is RX02) side by side as you could expect elsewhere.
The PDT-11/150 at least have drives that resembles the ones on ebay, but the
cabinet is different (if you can even say the PDT-11/150 have a cabinet).
No, the ebay listing is still a weird beast, to say the least.
