Help needed for identifying floppy image format

I have the following floppy disk, which seems to be for a Victor computer but I can't tell for which model. Can anyone help me identify it ?

I first thought it would be for a victor 900 so i dumped it with a HD drive, 80 track, single density

    It appears to be a PRODOS 140k disk format. It also appears to be a flippy disk often used with Apple II drives.

    Thanks for your help
    unfortunately this means that someone has overwritten this floppy for use on an Apple II 😕
    I bought it with a floppy lot and someone has spotted that one that could be of some help for a victor 9000. I was about to send it to him but it won’t help.
    Thanks anyway.

    The extra notch on the side indicates they wanted to use both sides in a single sided drive so indeed wrote over whatever is written on the label. It does have some French language BASIC programs on it if anyone is in need of those. ;)

    Nice find!
    This is for a Victor/Sirius 9000. The disks used the GCR format. Unfortunate that the original data has been overwritten. I still have some with their version of MS-DOS that I archived but I don't have the CP/M-86 one.
