Tape from this period is always a puzzle to me - no idea how many times it was re-recorded and processed before it got to YouTube. I see some image orthicon halos, but no video noise - so, was it there but all removed in later processing? Hard to say. I see no quad banding whatsoever, but again, my understanding is that by the mid 60's quad tape was getting to near perfection, and the automatics on the top machines did a much better job of playback of old tapes than the original recording machine could.
