While there’s no direct mention of DuPont doing it, it would not be unheard of
for DuPont to have acted as a vendor/supplier to Kodak for certain specific
product lines, as in our case the SX Panchromatic. It’’s perhaps a stretch of
credulity but take a look at the link below and give it some consideration.

Interesting. Hope you find info on them. When I started, I thought you were
going to ask for info on how to develop the exposed rolls. I found some old
film in my parent's house and developed them. Got some usable images off
them. I think I would do it differently now, so if you plan on developing
them and want my ideas let me know.

Rose has me re-photographing several thousand slides from her family ...------
mostly dating from 1942 onwards.
Among the treasures was a box for a Kodak Retina 1 but inside was not the
camera, but several rolls of film ... some exposed and never developed, two
still "virgin" -- never exposed.
The films were interesting in that the printing on the cassettes is
utilitarian, to say the least.
They are in aluminum cans with slip-on, rather than the later-era screw caps.
Still more intriguing is the film itself. It is Kodak SX PANCHROMATIC.
Normally, I'd ask my friend, Tom Abrahamsson (inventor of the Rapidwinder
for film Leicas) as he was the expert on such things... and also the owner
of a freezer full of Kodak Super XX 35mm movie film. Sadly, Tom is no
longer with us, to ask.
Wikipedia, and every other list of discontinued Kodak films I can find, list
Super XX, but it seems that Kodak SX PANCHROMATIC never existed!
Two photos are here (scroll down):

Can anybody here shed some light on this film and/or it's era?
Many thanks.
David.
