So I was told
at DEC Training. The PDP11/34 has the SEX Multiplexer
doing the sign extend.
I can't find the SEX Multiplexer on a quick glance through the printset,
but there is a signal called K8 SEX H from one of the microcode decode
PROMs to a multiplexer control input in the data path. Yes, it does sign
extension.

I don't have the 11/34a prints here anymore... but that sounds
likely.
