Ok, then it could be for VMS, which also does this (via Andy's unsupported driver). I
don't know of PDP-11 or other minicomputer systems that do DECtape overlapped seek. I
suppose it could be for artistic verisimilitude...

And while there is roughly-accurate simulation of
DECtape in SIMH (presumably
for TOPS-10 overlapped seek to work?)
It's not for Tops-10. SimH only provides the KS-10 processor[1], so DECtape is
not a possible peripheral.
