Is there a chance that what you found was a kit (order able SKU) that 
included Tru64?  As in was there possibly a different kit (SKU) that was 
(Open)VMS?

I remember seeing similar from Compaq for Windows NT vs NetWare.  Same 
hardware, just different software (and possibly factory BIOS config / 
optimizations).
