The show is not even out yet and just wrapped filming, but some of the props got sold at an auction recently.
This might as well be just something that never got used on screen and this got pulled from the trash.
But i have not done any serious CAD work in years and this looked fairly simple so i gave it a try to get going again.

How close did i get, what do you think?
The scale is entirely based on a bunch of assumptions and set to 45x90x14mm and the screen is just thrown in for good measure because i had the model and it fit very nicely.

I had no idea they had already sold off props before the show has even been released. Thank you for the information. Good luck with the build

Someone on /r/murderbot on reddit found them, they did not get auctioned off as murderbot props, instead they were in a lot with "Orphan Black" stuff.
The Murderbot stuff was just labelled being from a "Upscale TV series" but the prop names of the "combat override module" and the font used, gave it away.
Someone posted a few set pictures a while back that showed the fonts/insignia/icons, it even says "port free commerce".
So this is still a loooong shot of actually beeing in the show.

But i like Murderbot... a lot.

The other reason items might be up for auction so soon is that the network canceled the show after filming the season. This can sometimes happen, even before it airs.

I believe this happened with Snowpiercer.
