thanks, Mako -- on that third one, you can kinda see the difference in material, like we discussed with the 49ers...

In my collection of wire photos I have a lot of undated photos so I have to rely on Corbis
No pics for '63... I will continue the search
If 55 is Livingston, he played only in '62 with the VikingsPaul Hornung, Green Bay Packer back, has a lot of room as he goes over for a touchdown from the 7 yard line in the first quarter of the Packer-Minnesota Viking game. Viking linebacker (55) Cliff Livingston gets one hand on Hornung. (63) is Packer guard Fred Thurston.
1962 September 16

that 1962 pic #55 (posted by Mako) does look like it is gold-white-gold (i.e. not the 1964 change, but it is hard to tell in the B&W), but the Tarkenton is clearer

No, no.... I'm on your side! I did mean "yellow" -- the gold is a 49ers color!

Regarding the infamous 10/11/64 game between the Vikings and Lions where the two teams both began the game wearing light jerseys, here's a not-so-great B & W photo of Minny DB Billy Butler in his monochromatic purple outfit. Interestingly, none of the game accounts I saw mention the uniform screwup:
