There was no copy in REL: until yesterday, when I added it. Going by the
size, I almost certainly pulled the right copy since I know about KS/KL
from using ITS and T20 before that. I had a KS ITS briefly, but the KA
has more "stuff" (at least the public distro of it does).

TOPS10  REL  3168  <055>   15-Dec-98    DSKB:   [10,7,MON]
TOPS10  REL  3163  <055>    6-Oct-88    [10,7,MON,KL]
TOPS10  REL  2296  <055>    6-Oct-88    [10,7,MON,KS]
TOPS10  REL  3168  <055>   15-Dec-98    [5,11]

.   

That last one is the REL: area.

There's too many to list, but from the REL: area copy which should be
the [10,7,mon] area one:

ETHSER  000012  000021
ETHUUO  000000  000021
KNISER  000000  000213
MOSSER  000000  000021

So I think KL, which matches the pdp10-kl binary/system.
