Systems with 'DECstation mumble' should be

says 'DEC nnnn' then it may well be an Alpha... for example, I
have a DEC 3000/400 in my office.. this is an Alpha.
And of course DECsystems might be 36 bit (DECsystem-10 for example), 32 bit
(DECsystem 5500) or something else (wasn't there a DECsystem based on
either an -8
or -11? for word processing). I also seem to recall that there were Intel
based DECstations too....
