I don't know if it's too early or not, but that does look like a regular type-6...

I think he's talking about the room two decks under the bridge. It looks like it has a grid on it. It would make sense that it has a Holodeck seeing as it was on a long term mission and had only a single family aboard. It also probably started out as a civilian craft. However, would it be too early for Holodecks?

If you're talking about the yellow thing a little off center and in front of the purple thing, it looks like a computet core to me. And yes, I think it might be a little early for holodecks seeing as they seemed to be state of the art on the Enterprise in TNG's first season.

No, the computer core is farther back, where the bars of the LCARS go vertically through the ship.

Instead of featuring a holo-grid, the space two decks below the bridge could be a cargo hold packed with small containers. The MSDs of other ships often have these.
I agree it would be too early for shipboard holodecks (although I guess planetside holodecks had existed for a long time before Starfleet ships began getting them, and civilian ships would probably get them sooner than Starfleet ones).
There's no reason to think it would be too early for a type 6 shuttle, though. We first saw one in action in 2364 ("All Good Things.." flashbacks), but type 7 shuttles were already in operation back then and seemed to feature more advanced or at least more streamlined technology. Type 6 could be very old news by the 2360s.

I don't think its too early for holodecks... as Wesleys says - basically holodecks pre Encounter or pre 11001001 were basically scenario settings, no actual interaction with characters...
Also, about the shuttle craft - remember the type VI, was also, sort of seen in Star Trek V... we don't have that much clarity on this MSD to see the nacelles...
