I'm assuming that Video Cassette Duplicating Corp.'s Marina Del Rey, CA plant was responsible for these printings. Presumably, the "60" is the nominal tape length (LP mode I guess?).

I own the 1991 VHS release of this film, from Burbank Video (at the time, Burbank Video was distributed by Video Treasures as Viking Entertainment became an in-name only unit from Handleman Company which acquired Viking in 1987-88 and Video Treasures in 1988-89), and although it has a newer video master (Blue tracking control disclaimer, FBI warning and Burbank Video logo ft. "Ruslan and Ludmila") and a newer sticker face label (an odd one, though, as it is small and the Burbank Video logo there looks more like the Video Treasures logo), it reuses the 1988 Viking/Troy Gold packaging cover.

I’d also like to point out that this 1988 release of "The Little Princess" was not the only VHS under Viking's short-lived Troy Gold label to steal GoodTimes Home Video's tracking control disclaimer screen, as apparently, a 1988 VHS release of "It's a Wonderful Life" from Viking's Troy Gold label also stole GoodTimes Home Video's tracking control disclaimer (as confirmed by a logo video from that release uploaded to YouTube by The AVTB Archives). Plus, the GoodTimes Home Video prints of this film and that other film I'd also mentioned used different masters.
