I have always assumed the Sports Illustrated photo was from 1964, but have no proof of that. It is the same photo used in the Orioles 1963 and 1964 postcard sets and 8x10 B&W team photos. So the possibility is 1963 or 64. The O's changed format in 1965, so I don't believe it's after 1964. The spot on Brooks nose is interesting...
Here's the 8x10 team issued photo and the Sports Illustrated photo side by side.
