It looks like you already uploaded it to Manx:

  https://manx-docs.org/collections/antonio/dec/standards/el-00012-00-0000.pdf

Looking though that led me to DEC STD 012-2 "Unified Numbering Code for Part
Identifier Class Codes":

  https://manx-docs.org/collections/antonio/dec/standards/el-00012-02-0000.pdf

which was exactly what I wanted. It's not the thing I remembered, but as DEC's
official list, in some ways it's better (although it's so detailed it's kind
of overkill :-)!

Volume II had a brief but early 'class code' list; I made good use of it.
