The older plan I've posted a link to is annotated: "1960's plan" and
I see that the Wikipedia article doesn't have a reference for their
assertion that the link wasn't there on opening in 1969. It's
possible the link didn't open until a bit later (some of the passages
at the revised Kings Cross deep tube complex were opened in stages)
but that plan clearly says "New escalators" so is likely to be
contemporary to the opening.

If by "1960's plan" you mean the one on geocities, then I think that is
definitely from the time the Victoria Line was built. I recognise the style
as contemporary to then.

IIRC I scanned it and similar images about 15 years ago from a
long-out-of-print book called "Constructing the Victoria Line" which I
presumably still have somewhere.
