Don't know what model, however--awfully early for Bendix.

That Bendix box in the lower-right of the picture looks more like a
power supply or power regulator if it's anything other than some junk
thrown together by the prop department.
Harry Huskey designed the G-15 in 1952-53, but the G-15A wasn't
delivered to customers until 1956 and the better-known G-16D in 1957.
Bendix also made avionics, however, and a standalone electronic
differential analyzer, the D-12, that was available by at least 1953:

The table, typewriter, and plotter shown in the ed-thelen.org link above
look a lot like the ones in the first frame above from Gog.
Bendix also had a later DDA, the DA-1, that attached to the G-15 and
used some of the lines on the G-15's drum for intermediate storage.
