Personally I don’t know & can’t suggest any.
During the mid-late 80s there were hundreds of UK & American companies making cabs for western markets away from Asia…. Even in Central Europe too, the demand was still very high and the market flooded with new game pcbs of the various leading designs (both licenced copy or original) and especially Konami, Sega, DE, CAPCOM & interchangeable Jamma latest 80s trend ones etc . and still some unique too!
However a couple of things are pointers which may steer you.. Sega system 16 wiring was required for original Golden Axe.
The curved marquee is fairly unusual for mass produced cabs as is the control panel level coin entry like leisure2000 & some neogeo/electrocoin cabs of various shapes? …some makers had several cab models available . What looks like twin ash trays is more typical of American forethought?
As a result unless wiring has been altered internally it’s very likely Golden Axe may have been in it from its first build? Circa 1990 ? Hope these observations help to jog someone else’s knowledge?
A lot of makers liked to put their own exclusive design feature in place and that cab has a couple - not least the two access doors one being cash box? The other maybe easy pcb access for volume control? Not sure as we can’t see inside?

I have seen the logo of 3 simulated coin discs lining up to a coin slot somewhere but off memory can’t just recall where? I will think about that for a little while …..
GOT IT !!!!!! Deith Leisure Spares Ltd.
Here a a couple of pages from a parts catalogue especially the electrocoin cab parts which include those ash trays too!
Those were the days when a WG lopt was in stock for just £26.00 and an isolation Xformer 128vac was only £7.50 around mid to late 1980s

Looks like a decent cabinet and like the curved marquee also!
Control panel is similar to a pc10 with the folding and location of the cone select buttons but the panel looks to return fully at the front which it doesn't on pc10.
I would guess a European cabinet also .

That Legendary arcade image bank of yours comes up trumps again Matt ! 🙌
Good spot, it is. I still need that one.
Here's a picture of my first two ever cabs in 1998. Notice the 000|. Recently found photos in my parents loft whilst clearing it.
I got them from Bognor Pier from their storage building right on the end of their boardwalk. There were about 40 of them in various states. A hole in the roof had allowed what felt like twelve million pigeons to live in the building and shit on everything.
These were the two I took, and I bought most PCBs from the others. One had a genuine Carrier Airwing CPS1 PCB and the other a bootleg RoboCop.
