K frame: 1972
J frame: not making any sense. non prefix J frames s/n ran from 1 - 786544 (1950-1969). Yours should be between '62 - '69 yet the Model 36-3 was made first in 1988.
Do you have a photo showing the s/n?

Yes it does. That makes sense. The s/n range is 1962 to 1969. The Model 36-1 was introduced in 1967 so yours is probably a 67 - 69 model.
