Proportional fonts and 'th' superscripts were certainly available, but exact equivalence to the modern MS Word "Times New Roman" font would seem to be a smoking gun. The venerable Selectric certainly never had that, and the modern "Times New Roman" font is a TrueType reconstruction designed for computers.
