That is a nice one! A feature I like a lot about some Fisher and Sanyo cassettes are the reversible erase protections.
By the way, I have found that all Fisher cassettes (except for short demo tapes) and many Sanyo cassettes seem to be made by Denon, or was it the other way round, Denon/Columbia cassettes were made by Sanyo? There are just to many similarities: Leader tapes, magnetic tapes, inside construction of the shells, and even some details in the storage cases are identical. Both Denon and Sanyo have a type III which doesn't use any CrO2. But they have deliberately worked with the outer surface of the cassettes as well as the cases so it wouldn't be too obvious.
