Truth is, neither has a defining advert. Do you have something showing it as a Beau Brummell?

There is a 1965 ad posting showing this version as the Beau Brummell (although the lugs are thicker than the ad above)
The black and white ad above states "I", but does not specify yellow or white as this variant; same situation in the 1966 ad:
I am good with Beau Brummell no variant (we don't know the color of "I", only that it is either yellow or white).
So, can we conclude that in 1967 these became the Diamond Excellency models based on the 1967 ad, and any DEs in the database prior to 1967 should be re-evaluated as BB? I could not find a DE ad pre-1967
