Tranny numbers would help us narrow the date down to a specific week within a given year.

Many of the Pro Reverbs had no mid controls. Some of the layouts/
schematics show a mid control but they didn't start putting them on
the amplifiers untill the late 70's.

Indeed.

The middle control was added to the tone stack about the same time as the amp became an "ultra-linear" model with an alleged 70-watt output. This metamorphosis also resulted in a switch from a tube rectifier to solid-state diodes and an output tranny featuring multiple secondary taps which made it safer to add an extension cabinet. A master volume with push-pull boost was part of this package as well.
