The 1965 Lightweight Rucksack design featured a riveted aluminum tubular frame rather than the welded frame of the
experimental and early
production models. It also had a thin waist strap with a snap hook in place of the P64 version’s quick-release belt. In addition the riveted frame model boasted a redesigned
cargo shelf.
