A cursory glance, together with the caption made me initially believe it to be only the output part and a kind of a final output stage inverter. The MOS and Synertek documents seem to be more accurate, even if their captions also talk about output only. I even downloaded the half-gig heavy MOS blueprint scan of the 6522 and it agrees with the MOS datasheet.

The datasheet shows a depletion-mode FET (with source tied to gate) for
the pull-up / keeper.  The schematic agrees, and so does the chip.  The
schematic shows a depletion-mode FET for the high-side driver as well,
and that is what is on the chip; the datasheet shows an enhancement FET
instead though.
