Johnny,

VAX/VMS DCL was present at the initial public handbook point, and highly likely earlier.

RSX-11M-PLUS genesis is later. RSX-11M DCL is well later (I was a field test site for RSX-11M 3.2).

IAS I cannot speak to.  Also, did not encounter RSTS/E till later.

Somewhere I had a TOPS-20 reference card, but cannot go looking for it.
