Yes, it appears from what I can find that there were basically three
different Honeywell machines that ran Multics:
- the 6180 - the one the LCM has the panel for
- the Series 60 Level 68 - a re-packaging of the 6180, in shorter cabinets,
a picture of which may be found in this publication (pg 5):

- the DPS-8/M; you can see one of the latter here:

There's a picture of an artist's impression of the 645 here:

Oddly enough, that painting was on the wall right outside my office in Tech
Sq!
Now _that_ is a mainframe! :-)
