Original listing of the panel set is on the Multicians Yahoo group photos. They will be included below as well, for those who don't have that access. The album is closed to any but members.
If you look at the collection there may have been dual processors, with two like panels for the processor element.

Update 2/3/2017 More photos from the original listings on Ebay
Note: The photos in my original capture of photos included a 3 scroll rear photo, but none were apparently published at that time with three scroll wheels. The place this set was found had the front of the three scroll panel.

You wouldn’t have come across a photo of a Datanet 355 maintenance panel by any chance? I was one of the original programmers on this machine when the first prototype was being built at GE SIPD in CSP#5, Syracuse NY (1966). Finished 355sim and developed 355map there before moving to Phoenix in 1968. Worked in the GRTS/355 group and then maintained dnet/rout in GCOS. No cameras were allowed in the plant, so no pictures were possible.
