Would that be EK-UDA50-UG-003? That's all I could turn up after
pawing through stuff that isn't in storage. Found a nice chart
of Standard Unibus vs. Modified Unibus on page 2-8. I can see why
it's a bad idea to put a terminator card that's expecting to live
in a standard slot into a MUD slot - battery (+5VDC, +/-15VDC) and
core (+20VDC, -5VDC) voltages abound on pins in MUD slots that are
grounds on a standard slot!

I'd say so. I used to work at a shop that manufactured 3rd party
peripherals. We had lots of docs, VMS fiche, etc. We never had
UDA50 internals docs. I presume because of licensing and patents,
etc., that those docs were pricey from DEC.

Me, along with the Qbus and VAXBI equivalents. No spares. Sorry. Got
more machines and disks than controllers.
