Apologies if this is a daft question badly presented: has anybody mentioned, or
better still looked at, DSRPLUS for this picture yet? I did have a quick look
but may have missed it.
It is, as the name suggests, intended as a bigger better version of DEC/DIGITAL

You're welcome! I've received so much help over the years from the

a case like this where I can't really help except in generalities.

FWIW, I can confirm that the 730 console tapes are in RT11 format, as are
the 750's. DEC standardized on that format for console media, even though
there is no actual PDP-11 involved in the 725/730/750.
And EXCHANGE has the ability to create "virtual" media images on disk.
