I checked 11.tar with file(1)
$ file ./test/testdir/tmp/11.tar
./test/testdir/tmp/11.tar: LZMA compressed data, streamed
$

Trying by hand gives:
$ unlzma ./test/testdir/tmp/11.tar
./test/testdir/tmp/11.tar:  unknown suffix -- unchanged

Changing file-name to 11.tar.lzma lets unlzma decompress it.

My lzma command comes from debian package  lzma-9.22-2. Details on that:

Description-en: Compression and decompression in the LZMA format -
command line utility
 The Lempel-Ziv Markov-chain Algorithm is a compression method based on
 the famous LZ77 algorithm, and was first introduced by 7-Zip for use in
 7z archives.
 .
 Its main characteristics are a very high compression ratio, with high RAM
 usage, and fast decompression, with low RAM usage. These properties make
 it well suited to embedded uses, such as for ROM (firmware) compression.
 .
 This package provides the lzma command line utility, which has a
 familiar gzip-like interface.
