Other (I think interesting) observations:

There's no "AUX SLOT" that would indicate a //e clone, so this being a
II or II+ clone seems more likely.There's no up/down arrows on the
keyboard either, which is another tip. The lid latching mechanism and
the cable cutouts all scream II or II+ also.

The power supply accepts 180-260 volts, so this means overseas market
to me. A US-Market clone would take around 120 Volts.

Other interesting but non-identifying items: there's an internal fan
and a DIP-16 to DB-15 joystick adapter, but apple joysticks are DB-9,
so this is definitely something noteworthy and non-standard.
