Note my comments:

"The original DECtalk product was implemented with a Motorola MC68000
microprocessor accompanied by sixteen 16KB ROMs"

"The ZIP file mentioned is just the contents of the ROMs -- two different
versions.  The "suffix" on each file determines which physical ROM chip
gets the contents of that file.  So, "e18" is an actual chip designation
on the circuit board."

There's nothing special about "23-031e5.e18" to suggest that IT -- and it
alone -- would be representative of the entire DECtalk application.
