Maybe it is a dual-box BA23 system. You can tell by looking at
the back of the box(es) where the dual-box system has one (6U) back
cover spanning the two boxes.

Does the rack have extra-thick side panels with cooling fans in them?
That would be the "elephant ears" add-on which was typical for such
a system.
