I have a Sony Beta L-125 ALIGNMENT TAPE KR5-1V. Honestly find the variations confusing and trying to determine if this specific one is of value/how to price it. It looks to be in pristine condition, though it is not sealed.

You’re better off going to a forum or website that deals in this type of media for a value.
If you have an issue with a Betamax player, feel free to ask on this forum.

If by "variations" you mean the listing of the test signals, which ones are confusing?

Color Bars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_color_bars

Multiburst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiburst

In video terms, a Monoscope is a multi-purpose test signal. It usually combines color bars, multiburst, monochrome horizontal resolution, a grid for CRT alignment, plus other stuff. There is not one standard pattern.

Here is an example with a precision 1.0 kHz tone:
