Interesting clues, Martin.  Mellotron history 101.
   The lettering on my set is bold, but not too  squashed (my 
interpretation)(  The lettering can also be  scraped or rubbed off easily (like a wax 
pencil?).  Then again, some felt  marker inks stay on the surface too.  The adjacent  
tracks blend very well.  The tapes are dark shiny gray on both  sides.  And, 
there is a little aluminum tag under the front left drawbar  bolt that has 
"BB" scratched into it.


Streetly tapes and probably Les Bradley's writing in chinagraph.

 
   Another point-  My tapes have punch holes  evident at some of the 
cuts(before the back drawbar).  Were the  punch holes used from the beginning to mark 
the cut  points?

We still punch hloes to indicate where you cut.  There's no measuring  with 
us!
 
Best,
