That's really nice-looking packaging for an 11/34.
What's
in your corporate rack?
Two RL02 and 11/34A... which fills it except for one ugly 1U-ish gap
above the CPU and below the top RL02. The CPU can't go up tight to
the top RL02 because of some structure in the rack so it looks like
they always had some other small panel piece to fit there... which I do
not have.
There's a good picture of one here,

So, that piece just below the RL02 is on my "to
find" list ;-)
Ahh yes, there's one of those (in what looks to be an identical rack)
in my VAX-11/730. There are two metal clips which screw into the rack,
and the white piece snaps onto them.
It's 1U tall, so in the worst case you could get a 1U flat filler
panel and paint it to match the rest of the cabinet.
Then the very bottom panel piece on mine has a roughly
1" x 3/4"
rectangular hole cut in it near the right side. A white rocker switch
with ( 1 / 0) embossed on it will fit that hole though and serve as my
master on / off for the rack (via that 872-A PDU) I guess.
That sounds like an excellent plan.
