My org shreds discs entirely with a mechanical grinder, so I'm well aware of overkill.

Multiple overwrites being unnecessary isnt really an opinion. Here is the company that owns dban agreeing with security orgs like NIST, that anything past 1 write is unnecessary. .

I think the issue comes down to whether the org in question does that 7 passes consistently on all discs, or if it just so happened to start that policy with those that had evidence on them.

No? If 1 is sufficient, any additional shouldn't matter in any considerations at all. Could have simply been somebody who hit the preset on accident.
