I'd agree with the rationale, but on the other hand, why is there so many redundant mounting holes and a couple of useless plates? Why not set up in a more diagramatic / annotated format as opposed to a very realistic looking semi-random layout?

I'd say it's a genuine board that may have been adapted. It if was made from scratch it wouldn't look so 'messy'.

The instruments may be a 'set' made up that have nothing to do with the original, less complex type the panel was from. Maybe?
