If the know the exact acquisition date of one of these scenes you could check USGS GloVis https://glovis.usgs.gov/app 😉

Likely Landsat MSS, but also possible it's declassified KH-9.

Some ESA/European sat. option removal:

Meteosat-1 is out (low-res and launched later Nov. 1977)
Spot-1 is out, launched later 1986

Nothing launched from CSG seems an option
