It was the February, 1971 issue.

More info on Pic 19 (http://users.erols.com/eengineer/096f_17.jpg):
the three identical items stacked together on the left
side appear to be KG-14 cryptodevices, from the picture of a KG-14 at
http://webhome.idirect.com/~jproc/crypto/kg14.html.

The arrangement of the thumbscrews that hold the box in its case
is pretty distinctive, and the fuseholders just below that box
sticking out of the front panel do, I think, pretty much cinch the
identification.

The crypto gear still has the key modules in place? Weird.

Maybe the crew had time to dump them; if so, the Koreans bought spares on
eBay.

But when was the picture taken?

There was an article in QST in the early seventies by a crew member of
the Pueblo, who happened to be a ham. He mentioned taking a fire axe
the the R-390s. Someone with a better organized collection could look
up the article (it must have in the first few months of 1971 or earlier,
since I did not read the article when it first came out, and I
started reading QST in April of 1971). So I thought the equipment
was indeed damaged, though maybe they did not have enough time to
do enough damage.
