In looking super carefully at both Clemente's, There is a tiny positioning difference of the letters - most easily seen at the bottom right of the "M" in Clemente - 1967 - it is on the black line in his uniform, 1968 it is ever so slightly above it. Also look at the last bottom of the last "E" in Clemente - 1967 - not touching edge of uniform, 1968 - touching edge of uniform
