This looks like a part of the Perfectone Rapimag Sepmag system used by the BBC Pebble Mill Studios, as seen on this page: http://www.pebblemill.org/blog/dubbing-theatre-photos-by-peter-poole/

And on page 4 of this BBC Engineering newsletter is a description of how it was used: http://www.bbceng.info/Eng_Inf/EngInf_19.pdf

When I look at that Ebay item it has a Rexette striper as a suggested purchase in the box under this. I remember going to Balfore Mews (their address) to buy stripe and cement. It looked like an engineering workshop under a railway arch. There's nothing like buying from the real manufacturer, is there?
