Can anyone identify this IBM magnetic tape cartridge?

WHOA ... those machines are SO RARE. In fact I haven't EVER seen a Mag
Tape Selectric Typewriter or Mag Tape Selectric Composer ... and the
Composer was made in much smaller quantities than the MT/ST. (I do have a
Composer, an Electronic Selectric Composer or ESC, and a Mag Card
Selectric Composer or MC/SC ...)

I believe the MT/ST was the first significant word processing device, and
I would love to find one, but I'm not sure any exist any more. If only
one ever turned up, I think it should go to the Computer History Museum.
Does anyone know of one?
