Your 99E was made in very early 1970. Not all years have them, yours is likely right after they stopped.
Corelokts should work very well. Good luck, and welcome to the campfire!
I thought they stamped them until 1972? Today I came across a Series A .284 with stamped checkering, no date code, and a serial number starting with A so I guessed it was 72/73.
We're both off a year. My data shows stamps until 1971.
