That reads almost like it changed at or after the mid 70’s…

I stated mid-'70s because of the casting date. I don't know when they went from the "beach sand" pattern to the "light erosion" pattern and I don't know the vehicle year this dash was pulled from (but light green may be a clue, thinking Esprit). This early-'70s dash doesn't have a casting date, unless it's the pressed in number. But does/did have a blue film covering the backside.
