When I bought my '72 D-35, I got a black, "tolex"-covered case with a purplish FELT (not plush) lining. The case was separate, meaning not specifically bundled with the guitar... tho' the shop said it was the "official" Guild case, it was un-branded. Might have been the #4520 case listed in this price list from 1972...

My 70 D 35's is very much like this one with Guild stenciled in gold on the case. Very aged now, but the case is in good shape.
