Forgive the top-posting on my own post, but I think it's appropriate:
Evidently, the client used an MT/ST to emulate a 2741 and the
organization had a S/360 with a 2495 Magnetc Cartridge Reader:

I have to confess that I've never seen one of these "in the flesh". I
doubt that any exist today, but I'll be happily disabused of this notion.

Well, this is part of the job. I got the potential
client to send a
photo of the cartridge--and he managed to get a 3480 cartridge for

It's clearly an IBM MT/ST cart:

Anyone around who can recover the data from these things?
