USA. It is indeed 7 tracks wide. I didn't realize that until I tried
dumping the tape today. First time I've come across 7-channel tape before.
I thought it might be for sequencing a test, perhaps, but I'm not certain.

I have another paper tape...this time, it's 7-channel.
I dumped it and found that it has very, very little data on it.

The tape is dated 22 October 1958.
Which country? I know of 7 track tape (actually 7 tracks wide, rather
than 8 track 1-inch tape with channel 8 unused) from Electrologica in
Holland, and the date would be a bit early but possible. But the data you
gave doesn't look like anything meaningful.
