Hi all-
   Each keyboard has a split headblock assembly.  You could only choose tracks A/B/C on each headblock section, no mixed tracks (just imagine an auto accident and tweety bird mixed- simply wrong!).   This split headblock config probably made SFX strategy easier for the broadcasters.

I thought the cabinet looked a bit odd.

It's almost a MkII. It's an FX console. You can see the differences on the control panel.
