While you're on the right track identifying the time clock, none of the ones you showed match the models used in the movie. I spent quite a while just now and didn't manage to identify it, but I'm certain it's of a more modern design than the earlier models you've shown. I'm sure it's from at least the 1960s if not the 1970s. I like the idea it was chosen by Kubrick because the wide display on it matches the cockpit window on Discovery.
As for why there's two, one could simply be for the kitchen staff, and the other for house-keeping and/or maintenance staff.
The interior shots were all done in a studio, all the rooms we see are artificial. I think this hallway was put together for this shot and the designers needed something to put on that wall. I don't think it has any meaning or significance. It's the same reason why the continuity is screwed up on the freezer door exterior vs interior. People make a lot of hay about Stanley Kubrick and his obsession with detail, I think detail was very important to Stanley, but I don't think it's on the super OCD level that a lot of fans mythologize about. We have to keep in mind that personal home video was just getting started around this time and the quality was really shit compared to what we have now. No one was thinking that someday people are going to be pouring over every last frame of the film in high definition looking for a clue to a deeper meaning, sometimes they just needed something to break up an otherwise blank wall; people would see a film once or twice, sometimes many more times for hardcore fans (well, I'm thinking the people who wanted to get high wall watching the stargate scene of 2001) and they'd go on with their lives. Stanley was much more interested in the story, he actually said that people who were thinking too much about the film were wasting their time, he was concerned with feelings. Even so I have some pet theories of my own about series of events in his films that require pondering small details, but I recognize that I could be going a little overboard.
Why are there white circles on the underside of the storage shelves in the freezers?
Happy New Year to you, Mr. and Mrs. Tee!!!
Punchcard machines in the Overlook…odd.
one for the 'employees' and one for the 'socks workers'? *read phonetically, replace o with e
Happy New Year🎉
