Correct inner / outer box for 1965 5512?

[MrNemo]

I'm looking for the correct inner/outer boxes for a 1965 5512.

I looked on the TRF box threads and couldn't find info for 5512.

The most likely candidates for inner box are the green pyramid boxes with white lining and green Rolex on the bottom right of the inner lid. But for outer boxes, I see 1) white with green diagonal stripe, 2) all green outer box, 3) Seahorse decorated box. Does anyone have a guess as to which inner/outer box is correct (if there is such a thing) for this watch? I realize back then Rolex didn't care as much about these details but since these boxes are so expensive, I'd like to get the most period correct box combo possible.

Thanks!

Place some photos of the boxes here. Most of us do not have a source for checking "box numbers" with photos of the boxes.

Appears there are three outer boxes and three different inner boxes for 1960s sports models. Flat, pyramid, and gilt pyramid.

I'm guessing dealers probably mixed and matched these to a degree so maybe there is no right answer. And unfortunately looks like they had three insert types but that is not a concern.

The green box with the seahorse on outer sleeve is identical to the box and sleeve I got when I purchased my 1016 in 1981.

Thanks. Seems we can rule that one out for 1965!
