+1.... highly probable
Another vote for extremely likely.
In '64, Braz was the standard for just about everything (if I understand my history correctly), and so readily available it wasn't even called out as such.
EIR didn't start to come into play until '67-'69 when Brazil started embargoing it.
I've seen a report that Martin discontinued in '67, but Guild had enough stock of it to last 'em into '71 at least, on backs and sides.
We've seen a few D50's with combination of EIR and Braz backs and sides, and '70 F312 with Braz.
Add to that that they had enough stock sized appropriately for fretboards and bridges well into the '70's,possibly later, just can't recall for sure at the moment.
This thread probably has more than you ever wanted to know but note it has a link to the Fish & Wildlife Letter pertaining to the most recent CITES listings and explains the regs about Brazilian Rosewood:
