They might.  There are thousands of tapes, most of which are from ITS or
TOPS-20.  But that still leaves room for hundreds of Unix tar, dump, and
cpio tapes in various interesting 16/32-bit and big/little endian
combinations.  I'm guessing they are 4BSD, Sun, and maybe PDP-11
formats.  I haven't taken the time to go through them; in many cases
modern tools don't work, so I have to make my own.

A propos Teixeira's message, there are also VMS tapes with NIL.
