This X is not on the TUHS Unix tree website, nor on the CSRG disks. It turns out that there is a directory “src/new” that is not included there. It is here:

http://www.retro11.de/ouxr/43bsd/usr/src/new/ <http://www.retro11.de/ouxr/43bsd/usr/src/new/>

The version of X included with 4.3BSD was X10. I assume this is the oldest surviving X Window source code.

Of course the source code for the Blit has survived, as has the source code of MGR. The source code for Sunwindows and NeWS is presumably lost?
