Thanks to everyone for the links and such. Now...

The copyright listing mentions "box top", which would refer to the cover artwork and apron designs. Given that, the 2/10/75 date would indicate that the Wheel layout as seen there was already in place by that point in tapings (airing no later than about mid-April '75). Since the Wheel layout seen on the puzzle booklet cover is identical and that's 100% a legit set photo, it further suggests that the doors were ousted relatively quickly.

Given that the Second Edition game had the same product number (4532), this copyright likely extended to its box art as well.
