So there might well be an ISO image for stuff you might need on other
machines, and the rest in some DG/UX filesystem -- I have never seen
it so I have no idea what. AO/VS II? UFS or some variant thereof?

In the spirit of blind fumbling I might just try loopback-mounting the
images on a modern-ish Linux and see if it can autodetect the FS.
