I remember the AOL disks not having the sliding tab, either it had been pried out or it was just a disk that didn't have it.

AOL didn't want you to reuse them so they didn't have the tab

Correct. Any disks that the company didn't want erased, like marketing disks, didn't have the slide tab. Hence the op mentioning they used tape instead.
