I also have the Tech Brochure published March '75, and the Supplement dated December '77, good reference for tools etc.
I also found (when we were allowed to own them...) that Skennerton's SAIS #12 "7.62mm L1 and C1 F.A.L. Rifles" handy for parts, and alternatives, identification and nomenclature.

Hi Kevin,
Thought that might elicit a response...
The Technical Brochure (cover the same as yours, plastic cover with clear 'circle' over SAF logo on Title page), undated on Title page ;
The Technical Brochure Supplement (cover same as yours), has "December 1977" in the 'prepared by' section of the Title page, and below that, "Note: This document is a supplement to the Technical Brochure published and distributed after March, 1975". As an aside, the Supplement has a price sticker for $15.00 on the inside front cover.

Kevin,
Good detective work on isolating production dates.
Interesting that they were never ISBN type publications, apparently only for 'internal' use, not generally available.
