It sure is. I have not only the front panel but also the rest of the BA11-M
box . It is identical (except for the paint then...). No question about it.

Nice little box by the way. Very useful when testing Qbus boards. H7270
backplane. 18 bit though, but if I cared I could just was well convert it
to 22 bits I guess.

I have two more photos here if that could possibly convince those who still
are skeptical.
