The #'s are straight from the label, which sure looks like proper DEC to

The info above is basically the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th line of text from
the label.
"BE-T173I-ME","TU58#34 11725/730

"BE-T175I-DE","TU58#35 11725/730 DIAG SUPER","PROPERTY OF

"BE-T176I-DE","TU58#36 11725/730 MICRODIAG","PROPERTY OF

Any idea on where do the "TU58#34" and 35 and 36 numbers came from? Are they
on the tape label? Does the label look original DEC or secondary? Do those
numbers (34/35/36) appear printed by DEC or by someone else? These numbers ar
e
also written on the tapes themselves as each tape contains a zero-length marke
r
file named TU58xx.VI0, with xx being 34, 35 or 36. But it would be strange fo
r
such numbers to come from DEC: I don't think DEC thought of their diags as bei
ng
"TU58 #suchandsuch", I think they thought of them as being 2-5-2 numbers (the
ones starting with BE- in this case). I think
I have some 750 console tapes also, which I'll put up as soon as I read
them.
I have a seemingly-pristine 750 console tape image on my FTP site. It came fr
om
an Ultrix source tree IIRC. It would be nice to compare it with what you have
.
