It certainly looks like QDI ExcellenX V; Rainbow has patched a BIOS but yours says
04/26/1999-i440EX-2A69JQ1iC
P6I440EX Excellent V BIOS V1.3SL Apr.26,1999
and his (at the "tested" link in my signature) says:
01/06/99-i440EX-W977-2A69JQ1JC-00
P6I440EX Excellent V BIOS V1.3 Jan.14,1999

Would you like to save, zip and email your BIOS ? It looks later/different.

QDI.NL, now gone, had more recent BIOS releases than QDI (TW) for many of the older boards. About 2 weeks before they disappeared, I asked Edwin to "suck" their website...

He "might" have saved this particular version...

No that BIOS was not present there. And the site is still there, only the title page was changed: http://www.qdi.nl/download/index.htm.
Patched and tested BIOSes are at http://wims.rainbow-software.org
