    HPR has 2 different 400Hz Dolby level tapes (positions 5 and 6 on the list) one 200nWb/m and another 218nWb/m and both are DIN.
    The one corresponding with the ANSI standard is the one on position 6 - 218nWb/m.

    However position 5 is very similar, but having higher tolerance to allow adjustment for both DIN and ANSI standards.
    My recommendation remains for tape #6.

    There's another discussion on tapeheads about this: https://www.tapeheads.net/threads/hanspeter-roth-test-tapes-do-i-need-the-whole-set.109453/
