I found a really nice PDP-8/e sales brochure while browsing through our
heaps of documentation.
Plenty of nice close up photos and as last picture a system with everything.

Wow, that last system :) I wonder what the three leftmost cabinets
contains. I don't recall what peripherals have the blinkenlights at the
top. RK05 and TU10 controllers perhaps?

No guess for the other one.

"System with everything". Neat. I remember RSTS development had an 11/70
system that was intended to have "two of everything". Everything then supported
by RSTS/E, that is. So of course its node name was "ARK". At some point the
number of supported peripherals got to the point where they couldn't live on a single
machine any longer, either that or we needed more CPU for the team size, and a second
machine ("GROK", an 11/44) was added to hold "the rest of the supported
devices".
Actually, ARK had some unsupported stuff on it, for example an RP07. That worked fine on
an 11/70 (though not on any machine -- you needed the high speed Massbus found only there)
but DEC never officially supported it.
