It may be a boot loader. The second is a file system dump. I haven't attempted to examine its contents yet. The third is a tar of /usr, with absolute pathnames for all files in it. The tar archive truncates abruptly in the middle of a Franz Lisp manual source file, which it is trying to extract somewhere under /usr/tape1/. Some of the directories in the tar archive have modification times in 1982, but all of the files in the tar archive are 1981 or earlier. If you ignore /usr/tape1/* and look only at the earlier files in the tar archive, it appears it might be a legitimate copy of 4.1BSD as of Aug 31, 1981. In particular, there is a large cluster of files with modification times of 7/9/1981, and fewer than 25 files newer than that. The newest file (excluding the /usr/tape1 material) is 8/31/1981.
