I'd guess probably XBase, though this DBF file extension is used widely
be different products. Examples are dBase III/IV/V, Foxbase, Foxpro,
dBfast, DataBoss, Oracle 8.x tablespace file, etc.

If you can load the file onto a UNIX/Linux system and use the "file"
command, it may be able to identifiy it.
