Funny thing about PDP-11 system models. Even
number for the most part
are unibus like 11/34 or 11/44 (11/05, 11/35 exception) and odd number
like 11/03, 11/23 are qbus.
I thought all machines ending in 5 (05, 35, 45, 55) were Unibus.
What about the 11/34m 11/44, 11/60!
From what
I've read (and I've seen a manual with a sketch of one), there
were going
to be 11/09 and 11/39 machines. These would have been
'packaged' versions of the 11/04 and 11/34 (much as the 11/10 is a
packaged version of the 11/05). In the end, I don't think DEC ever
shipped a machien with that nameplate, they were all marked 11/04 or
11/34 as appropriate.

The package machines were the PDT11 series (models 110, 130 and 150
were all cousinns of the 11/03) and the Pro350(f11 cpu) and PRO380(J11 cpu).
