My recollection is that they require an NVR and hence must be
cataloged, even if not SMS managed.
NVRs exist only on SMS volumes, so a PDSE on a non-SMS volume does not
have an NVR; it also does not need to be cataloged.
There is nothing special in the NVR for a SMS PDSE except the SMS

True, both use fixed 4K blocks internally; this is similar to VSAM
