Not only really early devices, my Personal DECsystem, which is hardly on-topic
here, has only got an AUI connector. At least that's better than my
DECstation 5000/200, which has only got a BNC connector. Not much freedom of
choice there, and one of the reasons for which I must have a 10Base2 strip on
my network whether I like it or not (Not that I mind =).

I've got quite a stack of such transceivers, they show up quite often on the
fleamarket and are quite cheap, too.
