If the registers A and Q are 36 bit, then it is from the GE-600 line, which over time included the 615, 625, 635, 645, 655. GE sold the line off to Honeywell where it became the Honeywell 6000 series: 6025, 6030, 6040, 6050, 6070, 6080, 6180. After Honeywell merged the line with Bull, the machines were named (at various times) Level 66, Level68, DPS-8, DPS-8M, DPS-88, DPS-90, DPS-9000. So 'GE-600 series' is a safe bet. If one of the panels has a section labeled 'Appending Unit', then it was a Multics machine, GE-645, DPS-8M, or (I think) 6040/6080/6180. If you want a better estimate, I can ask some of the Multicians to look at the pictures; or, if you know what site the panels came from, there exists pretty good documentation about what was at which sites. -- Charles
