And then ID MS8192x26-1.9-RT make a hit in the "NSN database" to a
FABRI-TECH unit. Core memory system.
The FABRI-TEK brochure is printed sometime after 1965. And the System units
have a slightly more modern look compared to the one I linked to. I am
mostly referring to the panel meter which seems to have gone from round to
rectangular.
It can indeed have been used for some military application. Especially
since this museum have received some military aircraft items in the past.
Can anyone tell what kind of computer this might
have been connected to?

The panel just SCREAMS military. A lot of outfits (CDC,Burroughs, IBM,
Honeywell)
made systems for the military. Likely, the back of that unit
tells who made it.

I found one more google hit for FABRI-TEK:
