Angie,

It's neither of those.
It is series 17472.
67 sheets, 1:50,000 scale, sovering the coast of vietnam (rectangular sheets, aligned with narrow axis parallel to coast, and featuring topo info on land and hyrdo chart info at sea. Used for amphibious invasions etc.

There's another similar series 15551 too apparently.

Appears both had very limited distribution outside US and allied military. Our 'set' is mainly cropped sheets montaged for pinning to the walls of the bridges of various ships, so most of the  locaitonal diagrams on the sheets have been cropped.
