There are two cards, which include card #62, with Brooks pictured in this set.

I have the two cards in this set purchased from Scott (quitcrab) years ago. I'm sure both photos for these cards were taken when the Orioles toured Japan in 1971 just three days after losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates in seven games. It was a month tour in Japan to play 18 games against the best teams in Japan. The Orioles won 12 games, lost 2 and tied four.
Looking at card #62 up close that's likely not Earl Weaver so I'm not sure who it is; interpreter?

The card below shows Nagashima with Brooks wearing a blue yakata playing a traditional drum.
