It does not appear these photos are from August 1966.

Below is complete list of NG activity during month of August 1966.
Your reference to August 15 and August 25 appear to match.
However, it appears this information does not match all your questions.
For example you mention 493 west with helper 498 through Osier. That would not have been August 1966.
I would be more than happy to dig up other possible dates.
