Looks to be DDIIPK, part number 70-11523.

There's a smaller sticker reading 2963167/79 (given the date on it of
1979 I expect that's just a factory batch number though)

Curiously the hand-written date's 1/17/79 - so either the board was
built in the US and shipped over here, or DEC imposed US-style dates on
factory workers this side of the pond!

cheers,

Jules
