I assumed this history was meticulously reconstructed with a lot of hard work, but apparently Unix was one of the first systems maintained in SCCS.

I guess the part from before SCCS was still meticulously reconstructed?

Poking around a bit in the repo, I think the history prior to SCCS is just release snapshots. e.g. there is no history for the cat command in the PDP-7 Unix : https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/commits/Rese...
