What you may be seeing is simply that AT&T would have printed N copies of
the manual each time, and when they ran out, they printed more, using
whatever the legal department told them to use at the time. The original
System V was on the market for several years before S5R2 came out, and
I doubt that AT&T would have printed huge numbers of manuals just to
have them taking up space somewhere.

This is all just a guess, not any kind of first-hand knowledge.
