A couple of slide scans. I have no idea when they were taken.

Reminded me of Capitol Int, ONA Overseas National Aw, TIA Trans Int Aw, MAT Modern Air Transport and Saturn Aw.

very nice, proper aircraft!
Can't help with the date though sorry although world owned N376WA from October 1965 to June 1971 so that narrows it down a bit.

Love the first shot particularly. Just trying to get my bearings - Is that looking out towards where Terminal 2 or the maintenance area are now?

Thanks for the comments.
The first shot was taken from the Internationa pier roof. That was in the good old days when you could walk over the domestic and international piers.
