I purchased this derailleur as 8 speed Record derailleur but now I'm not so sure. When looking at VeloBase I see elements of Athena but indeed Record as well.

Any idea?

Looks like Record to me. It's not Athena.

I'm only questioning it because the cable bolt is different from the other examples I've seen online and most Record derailleurs include a hinge bolt on the right of the derailleur. Most Athena derailleurs don't.

It looks like 92-94 Record from catalog pictures. I have a virtually identical one and took a close look. 82.45% certain, mostly.

I would say it is a Chorus, a Record would have a different cable bolt and the cable adjuster would go into a different hole. An Athena would not have the open cage.
Here is a 1997- Chorus:

And the Record, where you can see what I mean with the cable adjuster:
