I had a look at a couple of additional reels of Audio
Devices tape from
1965 and 1966. Both were darker and labeled with an "Certified for 800
bpi" sticker and well as a "Heavy Duty Made with 1.5 mil DuPont Mylar".
I'm concluding that the tape in question is pretty darned old.
I think so too.
I uploaded the specification for IBM's 200bpi tape from 1960.

Coercivity is specified as no more than 280 oersteds.
