I believe the black and white photo is 1972. There is a Marty Pattin on Ebay right now and he only played for the Red Sox in 72 and 73.
I need a Tiant and haven't seen one in years but I know it exists. Tiant signed with the Red Sox in May of 1971 and didn't debut until mid-June. That means between him and Pattin this had to be released between 71-73 with 71 maybe being unlikely if the photos were printed before or during the first half of the season.
