Is it simply that the same card pictures were used in both years, and there is no identifier as to whether the card was manufactured in 66 or a 67?

If a player is included in both years, there is no difference in the card between the two years. Therefore, if the card is cut out as a single, there is no way to tell which year it is from. If the card is still part of the 3-card panel, you might be able to tell which year it is from based on the cards in the panel. For instance, if your Colavito is on a panel with McMillan and McCovey, it is from 1966. If it's on a panel with McClain and McCovey, it's from 1967. However, some panels didn't change from 1966 to 1967. In order to tell which year they are from, you'd have to have the complete box. A small photo of Koufax is on the front of the 1966 box and a small photo of Mantle is on the front of the 1967 box. This information is from SCD.
