If it says NABCO or TOKIKO on it, it is from a Datsun. If it says LOCKHEED or GIRLING on it it is probably from something European most likely a Saab. I have just replaced the M/C on my '69 Model 95 with one of these from a '79 Datsun 280Z. Generally the Saab M/Cs have a single reservoir (split in the middle but just one cap) and the Datsun/Nissan ones have two separate ones, but your year is earlier than mine and I can't be sure without more research. The difficulty of my conversion was a bit beyond what I'd recommend to a novice but works great. The very similar M/Cs to my 280Z one, from late 70s-early 80s Nissan models like 210-310-510-610-710 models, appear externally identical but may be easier to adapt to a Saab than mine was, line fittings and fitting to the booster may be more compatible.
If you are trying to rebuild your cylinder or replace with identical, and it is a Saab unit, you need to have some expensive work done to resleeve it. Search "whitepost" for a firm that does that. If you are trying to replace a Datsun unit, I believe they are available new, that is why I converted, to stop messing with unobtanium.
I hope this is useful. I am not the world expert on this subject but will be happy to discuss further if you want to call me at the shop, 530-899-1123.
