Not a BA212, what is it? VAX Question

Well, this is truly interesting.

I cleaned up and checked out the VAX 4000/200 I got in what I thought was
the BA212 cabinet. But it isn't.

The tag on the side calls it a BA400 series (and the power supply certainly
bears that out) but it is like the BA212 in that the card cage is _behind_
the drive bays. The drives are your standard BA440 type removable (who ever
invented that guide/track system does NOT get any bonus points) and the
front cover doesn't have a door, only a cover to prevent the drives from
being removed when it is in place.

Does anyone know what chassis type this is? The system was built in 1991
(see, its on topic now :-) but I've not got a later version of the MicroVAX
Technical Handbook which might describe it (the version I have describes
the BA440 with the VAX 4000/300)
