Vega K208 and Kodalith Super Ortho 3775

I happen to got my hands on several boxes of large film and paper, expired since forever, kept in a harsh condition, but I want to give it a try.
The idea is to cut film and paper in 4x5 sheets size and use them into my 4x5 Intrepid camera. The problem is I can't find specific information about these products and have thus no idea about ISO and development chemicals. However they are Vega K208 Grad 2 and 3 (I think it's Ferrania) and Kodak Kodalith Super Ortho 3775. For the latter, cover of the box says it can be opened using Kodak filter 1A, I take it's the standard red lamp but can't say for sure. Any hint or information will be mostly appreciated.

Kodalith was the standard graphic-arts high-contrast copying film, meant to provide black and clear, no gray tones. There were many variants over the years. It used a very powerful developer with formaldehyde in it, also discontinued for decades. You can handle it under a standard red safelight. You could try using it as a camera film, but don't expect continuous-tone results. Perhaps with a low-contrast developer like Formulary TD-3, but you'll be way off the map... you'll have to make many tests.
I'm not familiar with the Vega film, though. Best of luck!

Thanks, I will try a few shots, i don't expect much but I am curious, maybe it will work better than expected.
I will problably need to shoot a test card and cut it in pieaces and develop a different times.
