The rank was not necessarily a typo.MSGT E-7's and SFC E-6's did exist in the Army at one time.One of my Platoon Sgt's in Vietnam was an SFC E-6 who was recalled from retirement.
Interesting. They may have changed ranks by 1972. Then a MSGT was an E-8 and SFC was an E-7. I was always trying to climb that latter, RHIP. I hate I misplaced my little notebook from 72 which showed all ranks, their symbols/insigna, etc. in all services. It also had a little English/Vietnamese language guide. Pretty cool. Now where is that thing?
RCs from Nam are a treasure IMO. This is one of the best I have seen.
