On the Schrade collectors site, the late 1960's show stainless and tungsten carbide versions of the 147. 1966 catalog (for instance) shows a 147 RB (razor blade) that looks just like yours, but we can't see the tang stamp. In 1969 I see one in stainless, but it has colored spacers in front of the pommel.
the first one looks to be re-handled, the guard is covering up "NY USA". i'm having trouble recognizing the blade too. the grind almost looks like a 41ot , but don't believe so. is the blade what you call flat ground?
I don't know the size of the blade on the first knife you show, but except for the nail nick, it is the identical grind to a 225 folding hunter! If so, it would be interesting to know whether a tang was welded to the blade. And it doesn't explain what happened to the nail nick.
