[GreenKeys] Teletype Model 33 ASR vs. ASR33

This 1963 reference from DEC seems to be the earliest reference to date.

I'm not trying to pin the blame just interested to see when / who may have started 
the confusion. 

Interesting to note that other and later DEC documentation does use the formal
Teletype nomenclature but it is sometimes inconsistent even within the same document.

Thanks to everyone

You can see the term in use in documentation from 1963.

Did the message I sent with the link to the DEC brochure for the PDP-4
go through? Because they called a 28KSR a KSR-28. (If the link didn't
get through... BitSavers --> PDF --> DEC --> PDP-4 --> "F-41D PDP-4
Brochure September 1963"; page 5 of the PDF under the "Printers"
heading it refers to the Type 65 Printer-Keyboard and Control.)
