Sigh, CDC... back when Minnesota was a real player in the big iron world.
Their original main office used to be hardly more than a stone's throw from
where I sit typing this.
Being it's the 4th, I'll bet at least one of my neighbors lands a
burned-out rocket on top of the building that sits where CDC once sat.

I don't believe you're looking at a single system. Note the banks of CDC
844 disk drives in the foreground (you can even make out the "Control Data"
logo.
I suspect that the cross and 3/4 cross CPUs are CDC CYBER 170s (or 180s).
So, not really IBM at all
