Those Zenith and Panasonic tapes are definitely late 70s-early 80s, based on my experience with tape stock that old. By 1979-1981 Beta had many more blank tape brands than VHS, I've only found 3 pre 1982 VHS brands released in America, that Panasonic one in the photo, RCA VK250 and VK125, and TDK Super Avilyn. I have some stuff recorded in 1979 from the RCA and TDK brands, and 1982 for that Panasonic one.

The oldest recordable video tapes I have are a Zenith Betamax cassette and Panasonic VHS cassette whose sleeve graphics suggest very early 80s to me, though I'm not sure when they were made. Still cool though.
