S/N 43181 should be a '69.

What happened was Guild changed the s/n system IN '69, and that pure numeric system kicked in without any reference to the first numbers used, in the charts.
When you drop down to '70, you see the first number shown for '70 is 46696. "43181" which precedes it, was issued in that undocumented part of '69, before they made a record of the first number in '70.
