I have a card, pulled from an XT, which has a BNC socket at the end...
hang on while I dig it out..

Ok, found it... it has a single BNC, it's an 8 bit card, and it has
rather a lot of mysterious square metal components, two big chips
(both AM9128-10PC/8554FPP), and a vast amount of discrete
logic chips (SN74LS series). It's full length.

The square metal things have unique serial numbers on them which
I won't bother posting, and three of them also read "IBM 9322", while
the remaining two read "IBM 9314".

There's a big capacitor near the BNC socket, and a 14.1523MHz crystal
near that end.

You're welcome to it if you can get it from the UK to wherever you are!
