Heh, that's a different way of archiving the sources than the build
process creates. This is what
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0/source/sets/ has:

gnusrc.tgz	28-Mar-2024 13:57	260018kB
sharesrc.tgz	28-Mar-2024 13:59	7521kB
src.tgz		28-Mar-2024 13:55	228586kB
syssrc.tgz	28-Mar-2024 13:59	77550kB
xsrc.tgz	28-Mar-2024 14:01	176048kB 

I guess it's an archived CVS checkout, like you can find at
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/src/ . There it has
an "external" directory instead of "extsrc" and indeed there is a
external.tar.gz as well.

If you want everything, getting
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/tar_files/src.tar.gz
(and xsrc) seems easier.
