Paul - you are correct that its got a lot of it there and in particular the
kernel (which is good). But the /usr directory (and thus /usr/src) is
missing. It's not a completely distribution, it's the BBN 4.1 TCP
distribution which was a subset.
As I said, 4.0 and 4.1 were similar, but different.
The trick is find a complete 4.1 distribution tape.

[Note to Warren, we should put 4.1 in the browsing tree. The kernel is
different enough from 4.0 and does have new utilities, although it was not
nearly as different as 4.1c. The reality is until 4.2BSD came out with the
networking support, most Vaxen running BSD were 4.1 not 4.0 based.
It is already there! The entry named "BBN's TCP/IP Code for the VAX” is
4.1BSD with the BBN TCP stack added. The changes to the kernel are just one
or two dozen lines (all in sys2.c and main.c) bracketed in #ifdef BBNNET
blocks. The actual network stack is in a separate build directory.
Maybe the entry should be renamed “4.1BSD with TCP/IP” to make this more
clear.
