At that time PDP-11 was a general  architecture name and 11/mumble was a 
specific system.
Keep in mind  that new versions of the -11 would evolve soon after 
introduction  and
continue over time for decades.

Add to that there were both  processor naming and system configuration 
naming
conventions.

Find a copy of the PDP-11 systems handbook!   Say 1978, 80 and 82 
versions and
see the difference.  Never mind  the Unibus, Qbus, PRO, and PDT flavors.

OK I  have  seen  both on Panels  pdp-11   and  pdp 11/20
figured the  first  issuance  would  say pdp-11 only  on  panel
