That's the first Plus/SE hybrid I've come across! We probably shouldn't be surprised how interchangeable the components are when it's remembered that the SE chassis still has an aperture on its front element that would accept a 5.25" drive where the 3.5" drives go, presumably because a 5.25" drive was only rejected quite late in the development of the first Mac, and Apple didn't change the chassis for the SE to remove that potential.
A couple of years ago I started to put a 512K motherboard into an early SE chassis. I had soldered up a lead to connect to the analogue board, worked out where to put the backup battery and speaker, fitted the motherboard and opened up the port apertures on the rear of the case before I noticed that the SE chassis has a member running directly above the power/video connector on the 512K board. Doh...
