I think it had *a* SCSI controller on the CPU board, but it wasn't
*the* SCSI controller - I'm quite sure at least one of my machines has
two SCSI interfaces.

I've never seen a -3/50 or -3/60 without a SCSI interface.  Have you?
(It's the DD50F connector, and I think on that era of machine it's even
marked "SCSI".)
