I have a bit of doubt that tektronix had anything to do with that supply. It looks more to me like something someone bodged together out of an old scope.
If you look on the front panel, which is where the bottom of the scope it was built in would be, there is a scar that is typical of a bottom of a scope.
The only thing that looks tektronix to me is the knobs, case, and logo on the panel. The panel looks to me to be hand lettered using rub on letters.

Well designed test fixtures are an asset to any company. One of my
former employers cut corners on their in house fixtures, and it cost us a lot more than proper fixtures would have. Some needed constant repairs, and were built from samples, or obsolete inventory so there were no spare parts. Another problem was that some employees that they could modify them on a whim, since there were no control documents. I'm sure that somewhere documents existed for that item at Tektronix, and it might even be in that microfiche library at the museum.
