Iirc Cray used a Data General Nova as an operators console for some of their systems.

It’s a different color scheme, but pleasingly similar tactile qualities

Alas, not all Novas have front panels either. Cray supported a couple of different front ends; I dunno what the options were for the Cray-1, but in the mid-80s the PSC X/MP-48 was front-ended by a VAX cluster.
