The processors and memories are the exact same as their QBUS equivalent (11/84 uses the KDJ11-B processor of the '83; '94 uses the KDJ11-E of the '93; the memories are thus the same MSV11 PMI modules as you'd find in an '83 or '93). What makes them UNIBUS capable is the KTJ11 module at the very end of the (very short) Q22/CD backplane segment, which converts from Q22+PMI to UNIBUS (it's a hex module; AB being UNIBUS, CD+EF being Q22+PMI).
