I am guessing the smokeless powders were from the 1970's to early 1980's. If you see lot numbers on the containers, posting them will help us narrow down the date of manufacturer.
The Goex may be newer. Lot numbers would help.

Train 2 Win
The Hodgdon bottles may have a lot number where the ends of the label almost meet. If so, the first number is the container size and then there is a date code.
Dupont sold IMR to Hodgdon in 2003.
Can you post a pic of the Dupont powder can with a white label?

So the IMR 3031. all the Hodgdon 1lb canisters, and the Win 760 look like powder I have that I got in the 90s. I didn't start reloading until about 93/94 and I have a bunch of the metal IMR that look like the 3031 one (the other IMR look older). I have a Win760 like that (and a Win748 same style) and a lot of various Hodgdon (including the H322) that are the same canister and label type.

Thanks for all the input, For some weird reason a local fellow reloader saw pictures showed up and bought all the smokeless powder and 16 lbs of black powder. Items were sold using current Midway USA prices.
On a whim I checked an upper shelf, ( haven't been in there over a year due to Covid) Found multiple tubs of>>
At least 3 of the tubs were Federal Magnum Large rifle primers , Fellow reloader bought it all, think he got around 10thousand large & large magnum rifle primers.
Price was $40 per thousand large rifle and $50 per thousand large magnum rifle.
I Don't reload anything with large rifle so I passed.
Check out the original pricing..
Good on you for helping your friend's widow. I hope he is looking down and smiling that his investment got such a good return.
And holy moly that seems like a lot of black powder.
