The only such 386 boards I have are 386SX (25/33.. I also have one that is 40MHz with L2 cache but I can't get it to POST 🙁 )

Well, since I posted this I actually came into possession of such a late DX40 board:

OPTi-495-SLC-Am386-DX-40.jpg

No idea what the make/model are either.. But it seems to be similar to this, in terms of layout etc: https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/U/U … SLC-386-WB.html

It's a QDI: https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/5380

I have a few 386 boards with cache (FIC 386sc, Asus ISA-386c, a DTK PEM and ALI C3404) but none have VLB. I do have one 386/486 board with Opti495 and VLB but never tried it with a 386. Not sure I would want too...
edit: add the picture

That's an A-Trend:
