I don't believe GE actually manufactured this case either. But selling to the Gov't is something which they have a lot of experience doing...

The lack of power pins on the back is mighty interesting!

Maybe with the super cautious approach to missions, they decided that open battery contacts presented too much of a possibility of shorts with something and didn't want to add the risk.
