Picture #8 in rear right corner
And #11. It's got a keyboard and number pad so I'm thinking it's more
likely a LA120 DECwriter III
Could easily be a DECwrite II as well. It looks just like the one I used in
high school and college. Can't tell from the picture though if it has the
baud rate selection switches on the left hand side which is a dead-giveaway
for it.

Picture #8 clearly shows (if you click on it it expands to a larger size) no keypad on the left of the
keyboard which is how the LA36/DECwriter II set baud rate and did line and form feeds. The DECwriter III had
a "Setup" key above the "Escape" and "1" keys to set baud and other
characteristics and LF, FF and other keys above the number row on the right side for forms handling. At
least that's how my LA120 keyboard is set up.
It's hard to see if those keys are there in picture #8 or #11, but since the
left keypad is missing, I'm going to assume they are.
