Here's three scans I did of my panels some time back, with the dates
on them:

bottom right - Serge Tcherepnin 1973
You will notice the sequencer layout is different too.

bottom center - Center for music experement etc 1973

http://www.cgs.synth.net/synth/serge/pic/6_f.jpg
ST '73 written in the Bi-di switches

I guess this must have been done very soon after the panel graphics
were designed, as the first batch had somewhat dubious and vary
varied markings, according to what I've read. Three modules in this
one (peak and trough) are built on matrix boards too.
