As shown it is correct. 2,3,5 on the left: 1,4,6 on the right.
it's one of the odder -11 backplanes. I believe the reson for that
odd layout is when cascading multiple boxes (BA11M) the cables
orient easier as option 5 to next box topleft is the shown
configuration and the REV-11 prom boot is nominally in option6
as bus grant continuity is not required for most memories.
My source was the Microcomputer handbook 1976/77.
I also have one with core in it.
