Yes, i have tried doing using blockchain import tool.

Doesn't recognise the file.

Although the last transaction i remember on the wallet is from 2013, it could have been created even earlier. (2011-2013)
Therefore some legacy privkey format could have been used.



- My note on the backup says "wallet for bitcoin-qt client", not sure if this is true. It doesnt look fit for bitcoin-qt at all.
Yes, that looks like a wallet.aes.json file from blockchain.info.

This thread have the info of old and new private key types: [overview] Recover Bitcoin from any old storage format]
But there's nothing about a 33-character prv key.

Have you tried to drag-n-drop it to their import wallet page (https://login.blockchain.com/wallet/import-wallet)?
Said, it supports blockchain.info wallet files.
