"UIC" is a renaming of the concept of project-programmer number, or PPN,

mainframe product (April 1964 announcement, June 1964 FCS).
So “PPN” was the term used in TOPS-10 (and whatever the PDP-6 precursor OS
was), and also RSTS-11/RSTS/E, as well. It was decimal in the latter; was
it decimal or octal in the PDP-6/10?
“UIC” was the term used in RSX-11, and passed on from there into VMS. That
was octal in both systems.
A separation of terminology indicating some kind of cultural separation
within DEC itself?
