Oh, and the minifig picture has the wrong vest per current inventory (or vice-versa).

Wow. I never noticed that the minifig catalog photo has the chevrons downward.
Which is odd because in the minifig inventory, the vest shows them upward. But
it is a sticker so it could well be misplaced on this minifigure of the catalog
photo.

Mine is printed and is faced upward. I will take a photo.

Would you mind posting a photo of your minifig, front and back?

Sure. No the best quality, had to overexpose a bit to get rid of some shadows.

We don't usually change the minifig inventories themselves. Instead we create
a new minifig:
 
Minifig No: con013  Name: Plain Blue Torso with Blue Arms, Black Legs, Red Construction Helmet, Yellow Vest with Black Chevrons (Printed)
* 
con013 (Inv) Plain Blue Torso with Blue Arms, Black Legs, Red Construction Helmet, Yellow Vest with Black Chevrons (Printed)
Minifigures: Town: Classic Town
I have added it to this set because you mentioned MIB contents from childhood:
 
Set No: 607  Name: Mini Loader
* 
607-1 (Inv) Mini Loader
14 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 1979
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Construction

Please let me know if this is not correct.

That inventory is still wrong. The regular minifig should be one without the
stickers on the vest so that the one with the stickers becomes a counterpart.

Yes. It's the same situation we solved with the yellow castle set a few years
ago:
 
Set No: 375  Name: Castle
* 
375-2 (Inv) Castle
706 Parts, 14 Minifigures, 1978
Sets: Castle: Classic Castle
 
Minifig No: cas088a  Name: Classic - Yellow Castle Knight Red
* 
cas088a (Inv) Classic - Yellow Castle Knight Red
Minifigures: Castle: Classic Castle
 
Minifig No: cas088s  Name: Classic - Yellow Castle Knight Red - with Vest Stickers
* 
cas088s (Inv) Classic - Yellow Castle Knight Red - with Vest Stickers
Minifigures: Castle: Classic Castle

Hi Russell,

Thank you, I have that Minifig documented as belonging to the set 670-1 indeed
and I didn't have the habit of swaping minifig parts, so in my mind it is
100% accurate.

I still may have the box and/or instructions. I will look for them in my next
visit to my hometown and will keep you posted.

Now, is this the only set where the printed vest appeared?

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3840pb18#T=C&C=3

(My guess is that it appeared in more sets, will look into it on said visit.)
