European orchestras generally have two or more principal players. It is true that Ottensamer was promoted to a principal clarinet position in 1983 when Alfred Prinz retired; however, the main principal is Peter Schmidl. In the mid 80s concert, with such an important conductor as Karajan, I would guess that Schmidl is the most likely first chair.

Here's the current VPO roster with players listed in chair order:
