I don't know of any in LA. The first complete Difference Engine #2 to be constructed is on display at the Science Museum in London. The second is on display at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, which is near the south end of the San Francisco peninsula.

Looks like you are right about the location.

But from France, it is pretty close. And for me, it was not obvious that Mountain View was the name of the city.
