Can anyone ID this amp head from 1972?

Can anyone ID this amp head from 1972?

It's a backline setup from a 1972 episode of the TV show "Beat Club" filmed in Bremen Germany.

Distinguishing features include:

  • white or brushed aluminum faceplate
  • looks like three groups of control knobs in a single row
  • amp chassis and controls along top of the enclosure (not the bottom)
  • the blue bar across the top might be part of the faceplate graphics or something caused by stage lighting.

I've looked at various 1970s heads from the usual suspects like Sunn, HiWatt, Sound City, Ampeg, Orange, Marshall, etc but can't find anything that matches the faceplate colour, control layout and placement.

The head appears to be recessed in a road case - the left end of the head is hidden by a shadow from stage lighting from the left.
