I HAD a Zenith computer with XENIX, I'm pretty sure the on screen
copyright notice also said MS but I may be wrong.
Micro$oft licensed the source from Bell Labs. They could not make it a
product themselves (though they did borrow many concepts that went into
MS-DOS 2.0 and on into NT), so they sublet it to other companies who
actually did make it work, notably Altos, Tandy and SCO. Yes, there are
Micro$oft copyright notices. On your Zenith, they should have been
between the AT&T and SCO copyright notices.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Yes, XENIX. They also made it (XENIX) for the
Tandy 6000 and for some
Zenith computers (248?).
No, Tandy made Xenix for the Tandy 6000, SCO made Xenix for the Zenith
and other Intel computers.
