I checked my historic files from 1991, 1997 and 1999 and don't see this
block being allocated to anyone (don't have much data from 1991 - 1997
unfortunetly...). My guess is that this /16 was never allocated.

I poked some more and the LACNIC server says it is unallocated. That was the
most straightforward answer of the bunch.
It's an interesting exercise to see what the 5 RIRs return and what IANA
doesn't. ;)
ARIN - "no records found"
APNIC - ' 172.0.0.0 is not allocated to APNIC' but lists CC of AU
AFRINIC - '0/0', CC of EU
LACNIC - "unallocated"
RIPE - pretty much the same answer as AfriNIC
IANA - doesn't query for numbers
Didn't see a WhoIs box on the NRO site.
