Can you show a picture of the Audioclub cassette itself?
Missing country of origin was very common on BASF cassettes in the 80's and early 90's. For most European markets, they would only write Made in Germany, and if the cassette was made elsewhere, the space was left blank. Snobby German customers were not to be confused with "their" cassettes coming from Brazil, Indonesia, USA or even France :-) Only for countries where legisation required to write the country of origin, it was there. That's why you will find 80's BASF cassettes saying e.g. Made in France in the USA or Great Britain, but usually not in mainland Western Europe.
Your Chrome Extra 46 is probably from France, and I bet its box is from TDK, with a blank space where the TDK logo should be.
