Why? We always "mutiliated" ours. The 8080

board caches the tape directory, so if you put the files on the tape in
the order they are expected, it loads *lots* faster (like 2 min vs 15 min).
I had a script to build consoles from the VMS side using Exchange. We never
used virgin DEC-written TU58s.
What you did is perfectly reasonable for *use*. It is not appropriate for
history preservation. For the latter purpose one needs a sector image of a
virgin DEC original TU58, and anything else can be described as mutilated for
this purpose.
