I've found a box with 2 x 8" floppy drives. . . . external to some unknown
computer.

The box is a Panasonic JB3038P and inside are 2 X JA751 drives.
The drive connectors and the cable coming out of the box are all 50 pin,
exactly like an internal SCSI cable. Unfortunately it isn't recognised by a
SCSI controller, at least not without fiddling with parity and stuff like
that.

Does anyone know what this might have been for?

SCSI 8" floppy drives would have been great cos I don't think I'm ever going
to find a compaticard !
