As far as online 4.1 tape images are concerned, I did a bit more investigating:
AFAICT this file: http://bitsavers.org/bits/BSD/BSD4.1_bootable.tap.gz appears
to be the closest online thing to a 7/10/1981 version of 4.1.
This file: http://bitsavers.org/bits/UCB_CSRG/41bsd_7-10-81.tap contains files
with modification times up through June 1982.
Neither of these include the corresponding /usr/doc or /usr/ingres (which would
have been on the distribution tape #2). Those seem to be missing altogether.

Likely a Memorex sticky tape that stripped its oxide when I tried to read it.
These were read a long time before I had a tape oven.
I've not dug back into what I still have from the 4BSD days, or in the CHM
archives since I thought Kirk had this all covered.
