DV Video Tapes (With Case Screws)?

Hi guys.

I find myself needing to transfer tape HUBS from a bad DV tape case to a donor DV tape case. The current case is maxell brand and GLUED together.

Are there any among you that could recommend a particular brand of DV tape that used SCREWS and not GLUE? Also, have any of you had a good experience mixing brands? For example, DV tape, (maxell brand HUBS), placed inside say a Sony DV case with screws? In other words, compatibility issues, or not, mixing brands of hubs and cases. Are the HUBS generally manufactured to an industry "standard"?

Many thanks, to all, in advance, for your time. I certainly look forward to a resolution, if a solution is out there.

EDIT: Since all I heard was crickets on my question here, I took a chance. I ordered some JVC DV used tapes. They have screws. The lower pic does not show the screws. They are there, (if anyone cares).

ALSO, I was able to exchange the hubs from a Maxell DV to THIS JVC DV without any issue. There must be a standard on these hubs. Otherwise, I would not have been able to do this. Alternatively, maybe the hubs came from the same manufacturing plant.
