The photo identified as "1968 Sure Shots" is actually of 1973-era Sure Shot 'Dot' igniters, a redesigned Sure Shot developed when Centuri released their 13mm mini motors in early 1973.

The prior design Sure Shot (which was for 18mm motors) would not fit on the newly released mini motors, so they developed the ones shown in the sealed packet using a single tape disc (same size as parachute tape discs), which were the same diameter as the mini motors (.5 inch). Nice thing was, the tape disc size also fit the inside diameter of 18mm motors, so the new 'dot' ignitors were the new standard for both 13mm and 18mm motors.

The other photo showing an assembled Sure Shot actiually does appear to be an early version of the Sure Shot ignitor, probably from the late 60s.
