    Well, it's a curved metal panel with an assembly of pretty much 
bog-standard bayonet base miniature lamps on it..   one would have to go 
to a bit of trouble to make a 'status display' out of it  - after dealing 
with the drivers, and (I am assuming) rewiring it for individual 
addressing of each lamp.

   But as to what it's intended function was/is - I've certainly No Clue.
