All the CVC cassettes should be from 1980 (introduction of the system) to 1985-ish. Funai switched to making VHS recorders instead of CVC in 1983; maybe the blank tapes were still provided for a few years after that.
I really like the cassette format of that system. Imagine using them for audio recording on 1/4" tape and letting the deck do most of the tape guidance job; it would have been two great improvements over the compact cassette, at the same outer size (when in storage box). Much more fancy than the DCC format, which kept most of the compact cassette's design flaws for the sake of compatibility.
