Honestly, this is a pretty simple question with a pretty simple answer. The tire in question is a 165/50R15, 73V. The fact that there is a R and V in the tire description doesn't make it a VR tire and doesn't make it a 200 mph tire. It's pretty clear that 73V is the load and speed rating. Load rating is 73, speed rating is V. The R in this case and pretty much all other cases where it comes between the aspect ratio and the wheel size denotes that it's a radial tire and that's it.
This is definitely an "inspector-level" type question IMO. No real need to ring up the big guns for such a minor question. If there was something to contest and a decision was needed then yeah, hit them up but I don't really think that's the case here. One problem with only contacting someone within the association and not posting here is that someone else with the same or similar question doesn't get to see the answer or the discussion therein.
BTW I've already been down the V rated tire road with Excelsior Comp-V tires. They're sold as a vintage style "competition" tire but only have a V speed rating. Car that showed up with them was limited to 150mph.
Sometimes I speak from experience.
