Windows package questions

I've looked around and I can't find my answer, so I'm asking here as I'm
hoping a collector will know.

I have a box and manual here marked "Microsoft Windows & MS-DOS Operating
System Plus Enhanced Tools".

I'm trying to determine what version of windows it is. I'd look in the
manual, or look at the disks, but the package is still shrink wrapped and
I don't want to open it. There is no outer box with version info as this
was a "Distribution Only With A New PC" version.

The manual is all white, with black text. No logos, no nothing. The only
other things on the package are the Cert of Auth card (number 603301052)
that has a PN 0-1258 in the bottom corner... and a sticker marking that
the package has 3.5 diskettes.

I was guessing Win 3.1 and DOS 6.2, but I thought DOS 6.2 only came on
3.5 disks, and so the label would seem redundant. So then I wondered if
is was an older version of DOS, and thus maybe an older version of
Windows.

Like I said, I've searched, but was unable to turn up anything (found one
ebay hit that sounds like they are selling the manual, but it doesn't say
in the listing what version its for, and there is no pic so I can't
compare and be sure). I'm hoping there is someone on the list that might
have what I have described and can tell me what version of Windows and
DOS is inside.

TIA
