Hi
 It looks like some kind of data compare. It shows + and -
and has an adder to create the result. I'd guess it was use
to balance something. It might have been two digital signals
from two A/D's or something like that. It is obviously a "One-Of"
type unit. Most likely made for a production test or something
like that.
 Even if one traced the circuit, one might never know its
original use.
