Great.  It even has the LIL sources you were asking about:
https://www.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2024-July/030440.html
https://minnie.tuhs.org/cgi-bin/utree.pl?file=USG_PG3/usr/source/lil

The tar file lacks binaries present on the rp.tap filesystem.
It was intentionally trimmed for utree.pl ?  The tp files can
also be extracted with Warren's tp-progs from Tools/Tapes/.

I'm curious where the tapes came from.  The bitsavers and tuhs directory
names contain Coultier.  Does that relate to where they came from?
A donor to CHM's collection?
