Subject: [CR]Reynolds 531 decal dating

Does anyone know when they added that gold lower band to the familiar Reynolds 531 decal? Not the one that says "TI" but just Reynolds Tube Co. Ltd. I am trying to date my newly acquired Falcon San Remo which has the old decal without the band but I think it dates to just when this decal change occured. I am thinking, based on Raleighs, c. 1972, but would like other's opinions or, indeed, statement of fact if known.
