No, it says RS-232-C dates to 1969. The C revision was at least the 3rd 
(probably the 4th, as they likely did not start with RS-232-A). It is 
very probable that an earlier revision existed in 1962.

I have no proof, but once read that the earlier revisions did not fully 
specify the connector, only that it have 25 pins, and that the Cannon 
DB-25 just became the convention and only later was put in the 
standard.
