Anyone know what an M857 is? I guess it might be a DF11 async answer mode? I
found this:

  https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/102731577

but I think the number there is wrong; I'm not sure exactly which KL10 board
is an 'MBOX Control 3' - it might be the M9537.

Yeah, the BC01-R was used with an M957/M970 header card (not sure what the
difference between them is) in the DF11:

Not sure where else.
