There is mention in the J-11 specification documents stating 11/70 and

feature conflicts, these where solved in favor of the 11/44 except for
special cases.

Thanks for that pointer; I don't think I've ever seen that - quite
interesting.
Alas, it didn't have the cache info - but now that I've though about it
overnight, I'm pretty sure the reason for the two bits that do the same thing
is for -11/70 compatability.
