Just purchased this MF75-2 Sila-flex Medallion and I'm curious about the date of manufacture? Wiki page says the 1960 MF75-2 is 7'6" in length, this one is clearly 7'7" in length. Wiki also says in 1963 when Browning purchased the company the 22975 was 7'7" in length? Could this be a transitional model? Early 1963 production before Browning made changes? Any help would be appreciated, vintage glass rods are fascinating!

She tips the scales at 4.3oz while my Browning 222975 weights 4.7oz, feels a touch lighter in the hand and grip is also slightly slimmer. Also comes with aluminum tube compared to plastic tube on the Browning.
Thanks!
