I'm not sure of the dates - but Kleinschmidt was purchased by SCM 
sometime before the era you are referring to.  All of the Kleins we (my 
wife and I) had on Guam also carried SCM labels.   The specific units of 
that era that were popularly used by the Air Force (I was Navy) were the 
TT-117 (Keyboard / typer) and TT-179 (tape reader/typing 
punch/reperf/switch board and loop supply) and their siblings. At one 
point Sherry and I owned over 60 machines - purchased from a Government 
sale.

Here is a link to a picture with an SCM / Kleinschmidt TT-117 and TT-179 
in approx. 1974:

The SCM label is clearly visible on the TT-179 tape unit in the top 
picture.

Point being - if you're looking for SCM teletype equip. - look for 
Kleinschmidt...
