Well, the 11/74 designation do exist in plenty of documentation, even if
it never was a product sold. There were lots of things made inside DEC
that never was sold. They still had names.
But the 11/72 designation is not something I can find in any
documentation. The 11/74 designation on the other hand is something you
can find in lots of places.

I don't think that 11/72 is a valid
designation. All documentation I've
read only calls it an 11/74, no matter how
many CPUs you have.
Neither is a "valid designation", since neither was orderable. Some
internal DEC documentation on the multiprocessor systems referred to an
11/72, some didn't. Even for relased products there were often changes in
the designations before release. The marketing people have to appear to be
doing *something* to justify all the money they spend.
