    I found the item.
    
    That looks like a standard business style keyboard used on the PETs.
    I have never seen a case like that before (both keyboard and computer).
    The complete absence of labels suggests it is a custom case.
    
    That looks like a standard composite monitor.  Standard monitors could be
    used on PETs with a simple adapter board that fit on the cassette and user
    port.  These were readily available (I have 2).  It is not necessarily a
    80 column computer.  The business keyboard first appeared on 40 column
    machines and the size of the monitor does not determine which it is.
    
    The disk drive looks like a 8050.  I don't know what the "T" on the end of
    the model number means.  All mine are "8050M".
    
    The printer looks like a 2022. 
    
    All this equipment would be available at the same time, about 1982-83.
    
    A look at the circuit board would be more informative.
