There are a couple of ways.
(1) Look at the dots between the D & G. if it is the same size as the rim bead, then it is Large Dot variety.

If it points between two beads, it is a small bead.
If it points at a bead, it is a Large Bead.

If it points at a rim bead it is a Small Bead.
If it points to the right of a rim bead, then it is a Large Bead.
Don't forget that in 1965, there is also a Medium Bead variety.
