Well, the 11/74 designation do exist in plenty of documentation, even if 
it never was a product sold. There were lots of things made inside DEC 
that never was sold. They still had names.

But the 11/72 designation is not something I can find in any 
documentation. The 11/74 designation on the other hand is something you 
can find in lots of places.
