@Dr_Heech thanks! With some difficult I was able to find a Japanese blog, riddled with hundreds of ads, that had a table of all the factory numbers. There were three or four El Paso plants, but maybe it’s a shaky source haha.
Did the single and double stitch overlap a few years? I think a couple of other shaky sources said it changed around 71 or 72.
I received a vintage Levi's type 3 recently and I think I have the date narrowed down to 1969-1971. Hoping someone here knows more! Sorry for the terrible balance on some of the outdoor photos.
The denim has some nice character and I love the crinkly collar.

Single row of stitching at the bottom button hole.
After soaking in vinegar the buttons oxidized.
