I have 11D on bitsavers.
this is actually RSX-11D?

Yes. The two V3.4A tapes will allow you to build either RSX-11D or IAS.
Wow, I did not know that. It certainly confirms that IAS is just a slightly hacked
RSX-11/D...

Probably more that just ?slightly? hacked but certainly not a completely new
design. The scheduler was completely reworked
along with the swapping mechanisms. When I first saw it, there were 2 user interfaces;
SCI> the System Control Interface for
management operations and PDS> Program Development System for normal users. Before
release, both were collapsed
into the, now familiar, DCL> interface. Just remapping DCL commands onto the standard
utilities was a major part of the work.
