The label indicates manufacture early '70's.

The caps were issued with brass GS buttons and we were issued AA buttons, although issued with AA cap badges mine was a private purchase, my RSM was happy for his NCO's to wear brass cap badges as long as they were 'Highly Polished' it was permitted to purchase plastic chin straps also but I didn't like them. On the topic of Brass badges in the early 1970's we were still issued with Brass RMP shoulder titles.
