It does have EC and that is the correct postwar unit. Mechanically it looks to be complete -- although I cannot see if the electrical switches are present. There are so many of the units that might have needed repair and without a Packard mechanic that understood them they were often disabled. After that and with a nonworking unit a part was frequently removed and just thrown away to make it easier to service something else.

One issue with complete removal is the accelerator linkage and bracketry is different between EC and non EC so you would need to find the correct non EC stuff for your car. If you do decide to remove it then definitely save everything. No idea how much demand there might be or the worth but for someone who wanted to restore a unit to working condition and have a conversation starter at their next show you might find a buyer.
