My recollection of the one that I had is that the
bottom chassis wasn't
much wider than the keyboard, vs. the substantially wider chassis on
the ARDS. Also, I think that mine had black-painted sheet metal around
the keyboard and white-painted sheet metal elsewhere. The Tek storage
display unit looked about the same. I recall it having a DEC dataplate
on the back, and it came along with a box of spare flip chips. So, I'm
guessing that it was at least contemporary to the PDP-8, if not meant to
be used with it.
It appears that you are describing the remote station that goes with
the KV Graphic Display System. See pg. 15, "PDP-8/I KV Graphic
Display System Maintenance Manual":
