That cover looks like it belongs to a 1316 disk, not a 2316 or 2314. The
1316 had half the number of platters as the 2314, and - IIRC - it never
connected to a 360. According to
http://hissa.nist.gov/mlists/ibm1620/199901/19990119-4.html
it did work on the decimal 1620. For a photo of the 1316, see
http://www.columbia.edu/acis/history/1301.html (and guess what the cover
looks like).
