the vagueries of written communication. i meant to ask why would you assume he had one. the military is pretty infamous for giving outdated crap to the troops to work with. any equipment has to come from the supply system and you had better be willing to sell your sister to get anything approaching new. my sections only computer when i got to Luke AFB was one of those old 1 piece systems with the monitor keyboard and big floppy disk all in one shell. i think it was Wordstar or something like that.
anyway - it wouldn't surprise me if and ANG office was using extremely outdated typewriters in the early 70's. that doesn't necessarily mean the documents are faked though.
