The white scales on this SAK are clearly not original. The SAK itself is from the mid-1970's. This combination of tang stamps is known to occur, but it is quite rare (I have one such SAK as well, but only one). It is also mentioned on SAKHOME.

Very cool find, indeed!  :like:

Can I see the backside/bottom with the awl closed?

I do wonder if any of these had the stainless shield inlay like my Outdoorsman which I believe to be c. early '76.

Perfecto!

Awl says it should fit between late '76 and early '80, but I would generally call it '77 to '79.  I should have also asked for a side pic of the saw.  Should be able to split that to the earlier or latter half of that range. You could also just tell us if the seat for the saw tip has a bump or not on the backspring.  A bump indicates later part of the range.
