OK. So that wasn't it.  GRUB is in the first sector, with a MBR partition table identifying a single 750G partition starting at sector 63.

The array was not bootable in its original configuration, so I am surprised that GRUB would be on the disk, but the single partition of 750G is correct.

So something else is wrong.  Maybe your kernel is different, and just doesn't have the module for the FS.  Or one of the BIOSes messes with the apparent disk capacity.  Or something else is interfering.

Hmmm.  None of the common extras, like reiserfs, xfs, or jfs.  Nor support for DVDs w/ udf.

No surprises, but not enough information.

... and repeat on the old system if at all possible.  Preferably with one of the disks plugged back into it.

The old system is not available

Unfortunate.

Please show a hexdump of the first 8k of /dev/md0p1.  That should give us a signature to hunt down.

In the meantime, consider installing some FS support packages:

xfsprogs
reiserfsprogs
jfsutils
btrfs-tools
udftools
lvm2
