I don't think so.
As far as I know, the only Calculator parts on the Boba are from a Casio MQ-1

There is a "CE" calculator button on the Cloud City security pistol, but I don't think the Fett sidearm is directly related.
It would be interesting to prove that the Exactra was even for sure the source of any SW parts.
The LED display could have come from several possible sources.

The LED "bubble" lens was a common electronic part back in the day.
They could have been from any machine with an LED display, maybe even a digital counter similar to the mechanical Hengstlers.
I'm just saying the part likely wasn't made by Exactra/Texas Instruments specifically for their calculators. It was very likely a part sourced from an electronics parts manufacturer. Different batches ordered from suppliers would explain the variety of 7 bubbles lenses seen in Exactras. It was also a simple upgrade to change the part to 9 bubble later.
