Sun Microelectronics definitely sold OEM Ultra 2 boards in a non-ATX
formfactor. I bought five machines based on these in 1997 from Sunrise
Systems in the UK. This may be one of those.

Dunno about Axil, but this may be a Cycle board as they had several which
accepted the SunFire CPU modules and were good for upgrading just about
anything to anything. I had one that took an SS4 to the equivalent of an
Ultra2 1/200 - it was using the SunFire module rather than the soldered CPU
of the Ultra 1.
