Well, the US was certainly still involved in the war in 1971. Here's a reference to a first production test for the AN/PRS-7 in 1969, which is probably around the time the set was adopted: http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord...ifier=AD0866281

So, I'd say it's highly likely that a detector set newly adopted in 1969 would have been used in SEA.
