M72 is 30-06. I'm familiar with the literature you're citing, and I believe you're confusing the discontinuation of 30-06 ammunition with the production dates of the 308 stuff.

I've shot many cans of LC Match/NM in 308 from the late seventies and early eighties. In the eighties the QC got better with the M852 version.
