Looks a bit like the Grundy-Superbrain (UK) systems
I once had. Those were from the beginning of the '80
rather than the 71-period.
Still got one though but it's now housed in a
DEC-case ...... The desk-assembly was a
bit to cumbersome..........
The Z80 saw the light around '76 IIRC so
'71 is impossible .............
