My .02 is why
did they go with BNC? Eithernet would do as well with
F connectors and they are cheaper and easier to affix. I've done my
share of connectors for RF in 25+ years from TNC, BNC, N, F, PL259s,
RCA and XLRs to name a few.
Not sure if F connectors were around back then, or if they were very much in
use. Also it makes things much harder to disconnect. That's why they
probably didn't use PL259 and SO238 combos since every had their fill of
threaded connectors from the twinax days.
