Found this picture of a Sega Missile Command sitdown in a New Zealand parlour in the early 1980s. I don't remember ever seeing the game myself back then, though.

There sure is. This was posted a few weeks back:

I was talking to someone a few weeks ago who played a Sega Missile Command Cockpit - this would have been in the UK, back in the early 1980s. He says that the Sega Cockpit uses the small (2.25") trackball rather than the 4" ones found in the Atari cockpit. Looking at the link to the Sega upright it looks like they used the 2.25" job in the Sega upright too.

A rare picture of the Sega Cockpit - really pleased to have finally found a picture of that.
 
Ok thanks! That makes the trifecta then. :)

That sure looks like a Sega Space Tactics with different sideart. Just some slight modifications on the opening part...

That's the exact same bad boy that I linked to a few posts back. Same pictures. Any idea what that is on the left hand side, just below the control panel? Looks like some sort of speaker? Unusual looking thing. You could buy a sub woofer for the Atari cockpit. I wondering if its something similar. Anyway - the cab looks really nice. If I lived in South California rather than South Yorkshire I think I'd be having that.
 
The game was licensed by Sega from Atari and distributed in other countries, no? Pretty sure that's what I read in one of the many video game history books available. Remember Sega was an American company until they sold it...

The licensing is covered on KLOV on the normal Missile Command entry.
 
I'm picking it up today, I have been looking for a MC and this seems to be a pretty cool version.

I played a lot of MC on the Atari 2600 but not so much in the arcade back in the day.
