@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. 525 button stamp (El Paso) Single row of stitching at the bottom button hole. After soaking in vinegar the buttons oxidized.

I was in the middle of ordering a pair of LB 40s and finalizing the measurements when Isamu stopped responding. That was a month ago. Who knows.
