The D and E position regulators in the H742 of an 11/40 can be:
* both H745, if no MM11-U core memory is used
* one H745 in D and one H754 in E, if some core memory is used
* no H745, and two H754 in D and E, if a lot of core memory is used

The A, B, and C position are always H744 (+5V 25A).

I'm not clear on the distinction between "some" and "a lot" of MM11-U core
memory. It might be explained in the 11/40 manual, or one might have to
work it out from which memory backplanes are powered from which regulator
modules.
