Does this uniform number font match mine, or not? PLMK

I was offered this same 1969 Reese jersey and rejected it for the same reasons Sylbry mentions - specifically, the numbers on the back are not even close. The numbers look like the font used by the Angels or Red Sox, but definitely not the Twins. You can find all sorts of examples of the number 2 on pictures taken in 1969 (or other flannel years) and see what I mean.
I told the guy who offered it to me about the problem and provided pictures to him. I'm a little disappointed he sold it to you anyways, apparently not telling you of the problem. If you want to email me, I will forward the email I sent him, which includes links to some relevant pictures.
If I had thought that jersey was right, I'd own it now. :-)
