Just to follow up - I've taken custody of the Altix' in question from leaknoil. The DPS-500EB A that he sourced - which again works fine - has what I take to be a Sun sticker on it. Sun-style part number 370-6048-01, Date code: 0350, Supplier Code S01, "PS 500W S01". But the main Delta Electronics label is the same as all the others.
I also ordered a pair of generic DPS-500EB A PSUs at the best price I could find on eBay (@ US$25), and they appear to work fine as well. Additional Delta part number on all of these is A76009-00x. Attaching some L1 "serial all" output for each. (I'll do a proper hinv thread sooner or later.)
