OCD is fine. However, I'd think you're sort of answering your own question here. A more important question would be why would a commercial outfit do such a thing? Everything you're pointing out just reinforces that this isn't a commercial effort. If it weren't for the tones there wouldn't be anything to suggest that your tape hadn't been recorded over. Maybe the guy just left the tones on, though if they're on both sides they shouldn't be original. Hey Mark, what's on your tape there? Tones? (Keep that volume down when checking!) Two track? 15ips? I don't think I have any more of those reels here or I'd check also. Please report back.
(And for disclosure, I'm probably the source of Mark's tapes...)
