In the lower right corner, below the KD-29, is what looks like hand writing:
67F2GA
or possibly G7F26A . . . the writing is small and the 6s could be Gs or vice-versa.
Could this be a date code? Does anyone have an image of an earlier or later whole decal sheet?
Conceivably, this could be a date code, or version number.

My painting is coming along. After some touch-up along the margins, I'm done.
Then:
Decals
Paint antenna silver
Glue on the antenna panels.
Glue on SM attitude jets and umbilical.
Matte coating
In parallel, I need to paint the escape tower.
I'll probably use sharpies to put in some of the "launch configuration" capsule detail, as shown in the Semroc version instruction sheet.

Yeah, that's the same code on the decals from my 1968 kit (scan posted in this thread yesterday afternoon).
The first two characters are 67, which I assume come from the year of their original manufacture which would be 1967.
Looks like the code stayed the same between 67 and 74.
