dating a type 2 levi’s jacket

[pepper whale]

i found this type 2 big E jacket. i am having trouble dating it. it is missing the label & does not have any number stamped on the back of the buttons. the stitching is yellow & it has the bar tacks on the inside of the pocket flaps. selvedge on the front plackets only. red tab has writing on both sides. no evidence of a care label being removed anywhere. looks like chain stitching on the bottom (??). if anyone has any input that would be greatly appreciated. or if there are any other details i can provide that would make dating this easier. thanks !!

this Heddles guide will be helpful to the ins and outs of stiching colors etc.

I have had a super long PDF detailing the in's and outs that I am trying to find and post.

Great jacket.
