I believe that with C610, C605, and C650, it was pretty much hit or 
miss which was included. Apple didn't guarantee that it would have 
it, so it was a bonus if it did. Commodity pricing probably played a 
role here, & they used whatever chip they had a better supply of at 
any given run. According to AppleSpec:

Model	Centris		Quadra
605	NA		LC040
610	LC040		optional
650	optional	FULL040

Notes on the Quadra 610 state that some shipped with LC and some with 040.

As for ethernet:
Model	Centris		Quadra
605	NA		none
610	optional	AAUI
650	optional	AAUI
