And here is the Mark V11 I bought off of Craigslist for $150! The real deal was all of the attachments, bits, blades and arbors that came with it!

I felt like I should have worn a mask taking all of that stuff out of his garage

It will take me some time to figure out exactly what is what. I know some pieces will only fit the Mark V11 and thanks for the heads up on having some model 10 parts. If you see soming for the 10 and need it please let me know.
I was tinkering with the Mark V11 last night. The headstock will only drive forward on the track right now. It's full of old grease and woodchips. A good cleaning and it should slide better. The motor runs strong in forward and reverse. The blower works as well. I opened her up to check the plastic speed adjuster and it's in great shape.
My plan is to take the Mark V head and rebuild, refurbish it and put it on a rebuilt, refurbished Mark V11 body. Only for the reason that the Mark V11 parts are so few and far between.

There are also some mark V parts in there as well. Looks like there is a shaper fence from a Mark V 500, as well as a fence, tool rest, and probably a few other things

Your right. Some parts on the right side of the pile were for a Mark V. I will keep them for spares.

Put the mark V way tubes on the Mark VII. Keep the Mark VII way tubes and rack gears intact!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to try very hard to keep them intact. The headstock is moving very stubbornly. I noticed one tooth was broken on the track. Not a huge deal. The tubes are rusted making it hard to remove. A little patience will hopefully work out well. To be honest I hope to get the headstock to someone who will want it to rebuild an existing one or rebuild this one. Very minor flaws in it. All functions, buttons, plastic speed knob and key switch are in great shape!
