This core plane appears to be from a Univac Scientific computer,
i.e., the 1103A, made from 1956 to ca. 1960. It's a dead ringer
for a photo in a 1958 brochure on the machine. The 1103A was
an upgrade to the orginal 1103 from 1953, replacing the Williams
tube memory with core among other improvements.
