Boards 1 thru 3, Are these going to go Low Telecom or High Peripheral? #4, Midgrade? These are single sided boards.

1-3 can clear low Telco. 2, might even clear high Telco with the low profile and no heavy or steel components

4, go ahead and pull the wire (shouldn't be hard to pull out of the blue socket) the gray end may have gold plated pins for connector ends...not sure what the orange boxes are, any identifying info on them? Or just the TS labels on the board. What's the back look like? (To see the solder points)

The orange boxes are copper shielding for whatever is underneath. They might be transformers. Attached a pic from a different angle. The back is just solder points. No components.

Seeing any labels and the solder points was the goal. The solder points might help determine what's under/in the boxes. The other boards' transformers are labeled with just T's and #'s not TS.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's probably safe to just pull one off and look to see what's there, just didn't want to suggest that straight off

Hey. " Inquiring minds want to know". Pop the copper shields off. Those 2 transistors next to the Ts1 copper shield are RF transistors. I am predicting there is more under both copper shields than one may think. They are labeled Ts1 and Ts101. I am not familiar with Motorola circuit board labeling. If it just a plain transformer under there. I would be surprised. The silver axial capacitor also close to Ts1 is interesting. It could be a wet tantalum. I only mention that due to the apparent age of the board. I posted out of curiousity. If you do remove the copper shields. Please post what you found. Thanks ahead of time.
Here to learn like everybody else.
