This is a bit unusual:

ATIP: 97m 27s 00f
Disc Manufacturer: Disc ID not allowed
Reflective layer: Dye (Disc ID not allowed; e.g. Cyanine, Azo etc.)
Media type: CD-Recordable
Recording Speeds: min. unknown - max. unknown
nominal Capacity: 702.83MB (79m 59s 74f / LBA: 359849)

These discs are 80 min, rated 1x to 16x and are on a spindle of 50. Does anyone know what the "true" manufacturer is?

If you use Nero, click on the Recorder menu, and shift-click on medium info (Or click on medium info and then shift-click Refresh) to find out.

972700 is a generic ATIP. It means the manufacturer cannot be determined from the ATIP.

However, recent BASF discs have been made by MBI in India, whose discs come under several ATIPS (MBI, Not allowed, Plasmon, 4M).

Well, that depends on which country he's in, Basf discs here are all made by Videolar Brazil SA, and in other countries might be made by "the cheapest available"... All under generic ATIPs, unimpressingly...
(Except for the old CMC ones)
Edit: They are most probably MBI if they say Made in India, of course

I live in the US and the CDs aren't mine. They were bought by an aquaintance at a local BJs. I do not have another CD to test Nero. If I come across the CDs again, I will let you guys know more. Are we agreed they are "not" high quality?

Well, if the discs are MBI, I'd say they're nice, they've always worked fine for me.

Yeah MBI discs have always worked well for me, they are stable media. You can usually tell an MBI disc because they use Bayer Plastic, which means the disc is more flexible than normal.
