Not sure of the reason for the confusion. Astroturf was installed in 1970, ripped out after the football season of 1978, and is visible in all of the photos.

The upper deck construction behind Reberger pinpoints that photo as 1971; Dietz is probably that year (possibly 1970). The darker Lanier where the photographer didn't adjust for the artificial green of the turf is almost certainly 1971, the other might be 1970.
