They were 35mm Eastman prints. I got that from Republic Pictures, formerly National Telefilm Associates / NBC Films. We used to see both Bonanza, and Get Smart with the NBC peacocks on the beginnings of the prints. We cut them off, as we were not an NBC station, and threw the peacocks away!! Sure wish I had kept them. I do still have a couple of them on Eastman 16mm film that have faded a bit.
Technicolor could not make just one print of a title to be cost effective. There would be several trial/answer prints printed to be checked before a Technicolor run was done. The more prints made, the less Technicolor prints cost.
Many TV commercials were printed in IB Technicolor as late as the early 1970's, when Technicolor shut down its dye-transfer labs. I remember lots from General Foods, especially, from the mid -60's.
I worked in Television from the early 1970's-to 1990. I worked with people from all of the major TV film companies.
