I did refer to that page, but found the page ambiguous because note #3 on the same page seems to indicate this unless read very carefully:

The 11/20 docs referred to a stripped down model, the 11/10, which became the OEM version of the 11/05.
So therefore, the 11/05 begat the 11/10(oem), which was mentioned later in the 11/20 documents.

Or it can be taken that way. The written mention in the 11/20 document, and then the actual numbering of, 'pdp11/10', being applied to two different machines, has caused confusion.

Since I am not a computer history expert, I have gone to the source (Gordon Bell) and found there presented evidence that your correction of my statement is with merit, and so I thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Indeed, the note #3 on the psych page is somewhat misleading. I'll go edit some evilbay text now, so that all will be well.
