lol! I wounder if that picture was a spoof or even just a mock up with spare parts. Even by WWII's end, computers had gone digital, albiet with tubes and relays. The huge number of guages - to monitor analog signals, and lack of lights or other one or zero type indicators, plus the vernier (wheel within a wheel) steering wheel looking device, makes me suspect that is a rare analog computer which were used to solve artilery trajectory problems for gunships.

Fun pic.
