LOL that was my first thought!
Second thought: What an odd shifter pattern...
Third thought: Okay, just what the heck is that anyway? Kinda looks like lights on a wiring diagram in this slightly larger version I found.

Maybe...
Definitely looks like a diagram that would at least somewhat mirror the layout of the system’ s components and/or wiring. A bit more tech-friendly than orderly rows of dumm y lights.
