That sounds familiar from vague DEC memories.
As for those galvanized iron pieces attached to the cover, I have never seen
anything like that. They are very unlikely to be original. For one thing, the
mismatch in finish says so; for another, the fact they serve no clear purpose
and look like they were attached with no skill.
