I had another quick look.
The ram expansion has an orange and a red led. The other mystery card wasn't
really there :) I was in a hurry!
The mystery maybe mockingboard is still a mystery.
There is a weird user implemented rear switch with RCA connectors and one
cable wired to the mystery device.

There's a small section on the left (looking at it from the front) which is
a per hole prototype board section for user expansion?

The floppy controller said "CUSTOM" something on the screenprint.

And after sifting through apple2clones.com I concluded it is a Triton.

A surprising find indeed.
