Help Identifying the SEL's Typeface

Pretty straightforward request, what typeface is used by the SEL? Specifically, in this logo:

I know of a few similar to it, but not the exact font. Went through all of my fonts in my Font Book and couldn't find an exact match.

Closest match the Sens board has come up with is Stainless Extended Bold

Out of curiosity I'd still like to know if an exact match can be found.

Yeah that was one I found as well. Zeppelin 42 Bold is close as well.

Slocal is snooping around here, maybe he'll know.

It's a wide, techno font that looks similar to many. The closest I'd say would be Bank Sans Caps Medium. If you condensed it by about 15-20% vertically, you'd be very close. The font is also similar to the Nedian family, but not quite there. Elephantman Greatest is also somewhat close.

I feel like a cat burglar caught in the spotlight. What happens if I come up with a dud?

Thanks guys, Bank Gothic looks really close. I'd wager the SEL uses a modded version of that.
