Earl, I would guess along with you on the 1965-1966 Dating.
Here are the facts I have about the motors In my picture : 1, the A.8.3 motors came in a red tube with a postal label with a zip code. ( 1963 or later) the motor instructions in the tube had
a Model Rocket Safety Code that was up-dated in 1965. in both the 1966 Catalog and on the engine instruction sheet there are depictions of Model Rocket Motors with the three letter
code.
So unless we should hear from one of the real Model Rocket Authority's we may never know.
