Got these in the mail yesterday. Both contract dated 1968. Lightweight ruck has both paper instructions and some sewn into the lid. Tropical ruck has paper folded in the lid. Couldn't believe they were in this great of condition! Is it common for the markings on the lightweight ruck to be printed on the inside of the lid, making them appear backwards like that? I have an earlier version that has them right side 'round.

Both of those rucksacks are very nice examples. The instructions sheet for the tropical ruck is seldom found.
