Agreed; I neglected to mention that mine also is marked in that manner!
Seems like DEC had ramped up to about 15-20 machines/day by mid-September.
Guess that the front panel graphics guys "didn't yet get the memo". Or
maybe someone was hedging their bets against an ignominious sales failure in
the initial front panel production?

My PDP-11 is labeled as "S-386" and dated

it fairly early in the production run (but I do wonder what the
initial manufacturing rate was given the relative riskiness of this
new architecture). Anyone have S# and dates for "plain 11" vs.
11/20-marked for comparison?
Our PDP-11 is labeled as "S-308", the date is 9/16/70. And I think they
called it PDP11-20 from the beginning, as the model number above the serial
number says "M11-20"
