Hello red16v and all
Yes I'm sure it is video. See the pictures. The box says Memorex Video and the damaged leader part of the tape had wear bands across the centre part, about 1.5 inch I would guess, where the spinning head has been running with the tape stopped. Bands about 1/4 inch wide each side do not have this wear. Also the tape is 'oxide out' but I don't know if any audio machines require this so that might not be relevant.
There are hand written numbers on the box but no indication what they mean, and 'Tape Full' so I expect there is something on it.
Hopeful!
