This is purely speculation:

Notice that the 1969 price list statest that a PDP-11/20 is a 
_prerequisite_ for the PDP-11/10. Also notice that the description 
doesn't include a teletype _or_ programmers console.

With that and the low memory specs in mind, could it be that the 
_original_ 11/10 was intended as an automation machine for installation 
in some system with a specific task and that you were supposed to use 
the prerequisite 11/20 as a development system?

So, if you want to find one, you should look in some contemporary 
industrial equipment.
