Orange will be V4 and grey will be V5. Newer than that (V6 and V7) will be
the perfect bound white books. That's assuming these are all VMS manuals - it's
possible, given the history, that you may have scored some RT11, RSTS or RSX stuff.

If these are original DEC media tapes (rather than people's data) it might be
possible to persuade him not to erase them, since the hobbyist program allows
you to use them. (OTOH it might be safer to wipe them any way from <name>'s point
of view).
