At TNMOC at Bletchley Park I saw something that called it's self a "Colour Viewdata" in an ITT2020 case I did want to see inside but the whole thing was screwed down and from the back it didn't look like it ever had Apple family parts inside. (I think it was used for teletext or Prestel in the UK)

Also my ITT2020 appears to have original Apple ][ non-auto start ROM in it, it's next on my list of systems to resurrect and dump the roms from in case they're different.

So the cases got reused as some point.
