The family portrait photo would have been taken around 1971, seems a little late for a black-and-white photo.

Just guessing the other two would probably have been 1970ish - also seem a little late for B&W photos, especially since basically all of the Barry’s 1960’s Hawaii photos I can think of were in color.

Just a suggestion; Photo processing was a big deal back in the 1960s, and even into the 1970s here in America. The Black and White process was easier, if I understand correctly, and the color photo process was more difficult. Perhaps Indonesian photo processing labs were not well suited to it, or perhaps the cost was prohibitively more. Possibly they also had a camera that wouldn't accept anything but black and white film. Dunno. Just some stuff to keep in mind.

I'm not sure, but I thought I saw that first photo in color somewhere. (Too much stuff to remember!)

I'm pretty sure Hawaii (a tourist destination) had pretty good photo processing labs in the 60s and 70s. The other two photos appear to be from Indonesia, and that would have to make them from the 1960s, because I think it was 1970 when Barry came to live with his grandparents.
