The thing is that there never was a physical PDP-11/10 of the first type, it
was just marketing plans; whereas there were/are still many physical -11/10's
of the second type.

Yes, detailed histories might (and many do) indicate that the name
"PDP-11/10" was originally allocated to what later became the 11/15, but to
the extent that one allocates the name "-11/10" to anything, it should, by
virtue of the point above, be to the KD11-B machine.
