Code at the end of VHS audio

Discussion

Thanks to the audio u/dandelion1969 recorded I was able to isolate that last segment after the music stops which seems to contain two snippets of FSK. From my other post where I boosted the voice, someone suggested to split the mid and side of the signal to see if anything pops out, and to my surprise this last segment does seem to contain something ! Have taken a screenshot below of what I did, have slowed the recording down and boosted the mids and taken the side out and we're left with the following:

FSK Code 1

Code 2

u/WiktorEchoTree also suggested this sounded like RTTY (Radioteletype) and I try to run it through FLDIGI, I've tried that but get some nonsense out of it but I have no idea how to properly use FLDIGI. This just seems to be repeating when I use RTTY 50. MDG did pop out to me though.

Hopefully someone can make some sense of this!
