That one is pretty good, except for the lack of USS and the fact that it only 
goes to 2GB.

Here's an imperfect digital image of a 1991 IBM wall poster of "MVS/ESA
V4 System Flow" complete with IBM Document number (lower-left):

My recollection is that the original was 3' - 4' on a side.  

The multiplicity of isolated user virtual address spaces which gave MVS its 
name and strong inter-user protection properties is shown by stacked "User 
Area"s and "Extended User Area"s, a diagram subtlety which would likely be 
overlooked by someone who didn't understand the significance.
