I have a copy of the B&W, 16-panel, dual-sided "Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail" guide. Washington section....published in 1970. It displays the diamond sign on the cover, and inside with the mileage logs and maps. So at least until 1970, it was the official symbol.
The "diamond" was, and is, a cool sign. Sharp angles, bright enamel paint....unlike the mousy rounded triangles that one sees now.
Along with the diamonds, there used to be a whole lot of square wooden mile markers on the PCT. They seem to have disappeared in the late 1980s

Spouse cleaning out back closet handed me a copy of the 1971 edition of map you describe. Cover has both diamond and current trail marker logos. Inside at first panel, it shows "OLD PCTS SYMBOL" to left of legend, and "NEW PCTNS SYMBOL" to right of legend.
Trail description is from Canada to Columbia, southbound.
U.S. and Canadian citizens are advised to carry papers establishing their citizenship.
