Yes, the PDP-8s, LINC-8s, and PDP-12s were all 12-bit computers.  However the LINC-8 operated with word-pairs (instruction in one location followed by address to be operated on in the next) so it was effectively a 24-bit computer and the PDP-12 was able to execute BOTH PDP-8 and LINC-8 instructions (it added one extra instruction to each set that flipped the mode).

First assembly language program I ever wrote was on a PDP-12.  (If there is an emoticon for a face with a gray beard, I don't know it.)
