Yes. The PERQ AGW330, aka PERQ 3a. There are 2 main PCBs in the box. One
contains the 68020 processor, 68881 FPU, DMA chip, MMU hardware (a lot of
fast-ish RAM and glue logic), ethernet, serial ports, SCSI, etc. The
other contains the RAM, video RAM, and video circuitry. Each has a serial
number PROM on it. There's a third one on the DDS (diagnostic display)
PCB at the front of the cabinet, which is used for the cabinet serial
number. The PSU, OMTI bridge board and drives don't have machine readable
serial numbers AFAIK.
