The picture looks MUCH more like Gibbs than it does Munson. Checking Baseball Reference, Gibbs started two home games against the White Sox in 1971. July 17 and July 18 (both day games - Melton card definitely a day game). Melton struck out 3 times July 18 (and swinging and missing in the card) so I'd lean toward the photo being taken on July 18, 1971.
