Box Question

Gents,
While going through my meager Rolex accessories and such, I found one inner box (68.00.2) and one outer box (moon crater). I'm wondering which (if any) of the watches I have these would be appropriate for, as a set, or individually. I've seen this compilation of info here but it's a bit confusing, as I've seen conflicting....or, at least, additional...info. on sales of pieces with "box & papers". Specifically, I've seen 'moon crater' boxes with watches from 1991, as well as from 1980, all from respected sellers. So, to that, end, and trying to avoid confusion, any help would be moire than welcome.
I've got:
1966 5513
1967 5512
1970 1675
1977 1680
1980 16800 matte dial

Here're the boxes

1980 Sub would be the most appropriate. Later in the 1980s the inner box changed to one having the pillow cushion instead of the slotted card.

The 1977 Sub might also work since many in that serial number range were sold new around 1980.

Thank you, John! Knew I could count on you!
