I was doing a trawl of related Unix source trees,

C code from around 2nd Edition Unix is still in OpenSolaris today:

Choose: Compare this file to OpenSolaris_b135/cmd/fmli/sys/test.c
and then click on the Side Scroll or the Printable button.
There's about 15 lines of code in common between the 2 files.

Some examples of code that is mostly the same since the first Berkeley
distribution are: colcrt, expand, mkstr, and soelim. But a few others
still have some of the original ~1976-1977 code.
