Default Approx Ship Date on 25-2

Recently picked up a 25-2, 6.5 bbl, with serial number N66752. Was trying to an approximate ship date. My SCSW 3rd edition shows this serial number range in 1969 - 1972 range. My older (1996 edition) shows 1972 - 1974. Wondering if anyone could narrow it down a bit for me. Thanks in advance.

Photos attached show the aftermarket targets that came with revolver which are growing on me, I kind of like them. They're like and old VW Beetle, so ugly that they are cute. I also have the factory target ones.
