>T10 in the last incarnation(s) could use the KL10 paging

  Umm..  TOPS-10 could always use the "KL10 paging".  TOPS10 ran on the KL from day 1.

  The thing is, the KL had different microcode for TOPS-10 paging and TOPS-20 paging.  The hardware didn't change.  TOPS-10 paging was the same as the KL10 paging, which was implemented in hardware.  TOPS-20 paging (or rather, TWENEX paging) was some variant of the BBN pager that was originally attached to a KA10 way back when.
