   Definitely!  You can even see the "hatch" on the back RH corner where
you install the interfaces, emulator cards, etc in the 64000. You can't see
it in the 64000 picture but it does have the ventilation slots on the sides
like the Bournemouth computer. BTW the EPROM socket shown on the 64000 was
optional and one without it looks exactly like the cutout shown to the
right of the keyboard of the Bournemouth computer.
