Is it possibly formaldehyde? Septic chemicals almost all contained it back in the day. Some still do.
Sometimes it has no discernable smell at all, but if you've ever dissected a frog in a science class you never quite forget that formaldehyde "aroma".
Formaldehyde toilet chemicals smelled like a dissected frog plus a toilet freshener cake.
Not only chemicals. But RVs of that vintage had Formaldehyde in the walls. that it builds up while closed is a sign it could be out gassing of Formaldehyde. If strong enough, It can make your eyes water.
