*it is a recurve
*the riser is green on the part facing you when getting ready to shoot and brown on the side away from you
*it has graan wood over lay tips the same color as the riser its just one peice put on not a bunch of layers like the new black and white overlays bear uses.

Think you have already done a great job of identifying it. LOL. All that I can add is that it is a Grayling bow and was made in 1970 or later.

"K" serial numbers are tougher to pinpoint as there is no  defining marker for year. Generally the two tone risers are 73-74.

I understand, maybe you could make him an offer for the whole works unless he is keeping them for sentimental reasons. Frank
