But it may be that if you "dust" the tape with a VERY fine iron or iron oxide you might be able to see the magnetic tracks and determine if it is quad, helical, linear audio by the direction of the tracks.
I don't think there was a 2" helical format and I think we can rule out multi-track audio, that only leaves quad in my opinion.
