Tom has seen a large share of Multics front panels, and here is his reply.
Nick, I can put you in touch, or you can contact the webmaster at
multicians.org (that is him) for further investigation.
Thanks for putting up the photos full resolution.
Jim

It is clearly a maintenance panel from a 6000 series.
Since it says "APU" on the top and "PTW" and "SDW" it looks
like a Multics machine.
I agree we should find out more.

Hopefully it is viewable from the links w/o facebook if you don't have it.

it looks like one of the panels in this photo on the multicians site.

If so, sort of makes me sad.
This is from a classic computing collectors site.
It really looks promising. The fellow with the item is in Illinois.
