Ok, now that I've had a chance to check, what I have is Packet No. 
B663.  The first reel is shots from Apollo 8.  Reels 2 and 3 are from 
Apollo 11.  On reel 3, the following shots:

3) Astronaut Aldrin's First Moon Step
4) Armstrong Reflected in Aldrin's Face Plate
5) Aldrin and the U.S. Flag on Moon
6) Aldrin Displays Seismograph on Moon--LM in Background

all have the note:

   Non-stereo photographs, the first taken on the Moon's
   surface, have been included due to historical importance.

I wonder if they re-issued the set with artificially generated stereo 
on these shots.  As far as I know, these were NOT stereo shots 
originally.

Is it still possible to get a copy of this later set?  Anyone know 
how?

Thanks,
