That is indeed what it looks like.

With respect, you are misjudging the graphs you have presented. There is
no clear cutoff at 22kHz that I can see. Instead, you have the decreasing
signal content up to that frequency, with then analog tape noise extending
out to the actual sampling cutoff an octave higher in frequency.
This album was made on an early multitrack analog recorder, using most
likely 1" tape. The actual track width was about the same as that on a
cassette and I know from my own experience in recording studios back then
that the basic sound quality was not great. Without Dolby-A, the analog
noisefloor was pitiful.
