What kind of tape? 7-track or 9-track?

Which tape map? On what kind of drive?

That shouldn't matter except for 7-track.

You should have gotten one or more accompanying messages, probably IEA and
IEC. What were they? What is actually in the labels? Is there a TM after
the HDR2?

The output that you attached showed a block size but not a record length.
I'd suggest that you look at the actual data, then code explicit RECFM,
LRECL and BLKSIZE values.
