Slot 3 is empty, early cameras had the extender board here, but in this later camera card #2 has a modification that uses that space.

 

Slot 9 is the line scan and in this camera the card is modified to bring more adjustments the the card edge.

 

Slot 10 is the geometry corrector card, and slot 11 the camera PSU.

 

Note the "Lantern" ventilation cover.

In the bottom right corner of the camera is a small "power on-off" switch that enables work to be done without having to go back to the CCU. A very useful feature.
