I've never seen mention of a Multics DPS100/200/300 machine, so maybe they
skipped Multics support in that generation?

They can't be IMU's (or anything later, I'm pretty sure); according to the
Dec '87 Operator's Guide (GB61-01B), page 2-2, "All switch functions for an
IMU are done via a console connected to ... a microprocessor in the IMU." So
no big light/switch boards on them...
