Yep, seat bits cut off, so no wonder you can't read the year code!!!

Looks to me 68/69 XLCH frame. Have you got a battery carrier on the left of the oil tank? If yes, it's 70s, if no, 68 or 69. The factory started puting the ident rectangular boss on the right of the steering head around 68/69, without serial. 1st frame serials stamped there in 70, same code as engines.
