I'm interested for certain versions of the Portable C Compiler, and
maybe non-GNU implementations of other utilities, I'd like to license
the source. I'm aware of the re-booted PCC, but I prefer the authentic
versions.

Can anyone point to a machine that was sold in the last few years that
ran some System V based OS?

Probably a good idea.
But I'd be interested in the viewpoints of
people here on the list.
The Ancient UNIX license does not release anything beyond
V7 - as the document you have on the site (https://www.tuhs.org/ancient.html) says:
1.9 SUCCESSOR OPERATING SYSTEM means a SCO
software offering that is (i) specifically designed for a 16-Bit computer, or (ii) the 32V
version, and (iii) specifically excludes UNIX System V and successor operating systems.
SVR4 is by definition System V.
