You should have closed 6s and 9s, with a distinctive vertical hook on the top left side of the 7.
The fonts are fat.
The color is "off-white."
Here is the correct date wheel you need for mid 1960s to early 1970s.

I actually just read quite a compelling debate on VRF about this exact same topic. I own a 1675 with a 2.88 serial that has Flat 3's & 7's and open 6's & 9's. I will state openly that I do not know the previous service history before it got to me but I was told it was a one owner watch. TimeToGo was also in this debate and I am sure he knows the two threads I am referring to
as he was going back and forth with Philip on which date wheel is correct. The only proof from Rolex I saw was that there was Rolex Parts Catalog printed in 1969 showing Rolex part # 7090 which has Flat 3's & 7's and open 6's & 9's. So it appears that both could have been used during that era as it appears there is evidence of both.
