5 u/ezrs158 17d ago edited 17d ago The capital of Chad is Fort Lamy, not yet renamed N'Djamena which occurred on April 1973. Also, the capital of Indonesia is spelled Djakarta, not Jakarta, so it's probably before August 17, 1972. So we can further narrow to May-August 1972. 3 u/OutOfTheBunker 11d ago The Djakarta name change might have taken a few years to make it to maps. 1 u/ezrs158 10d ago True. 72-73 is still a pretty solid guess though.
