Would appear that document is export restricted and also not older than 30 years.

That is clearly a 2004 version of the document which is no indication of the pre-1983 variant seen.
There is no mention of AIM-9P-4, only references to AIM-9M and AIM-7M, so the material was written at least after 1983 and before 1990.
Also, cover of the manual shows a digitized T.O. 1-1M-34. T.O. 1-1M-34 used in the report is a non-digitized version, so the two are different.
Even if we can say that distribution statements apply to 2004 and later, we can’t assume that they apply to older versions.

Might I make the point that you can’t likewise assume the older versions are cleared for release? More to the point i’ve seen no official confirmation that those documents, regardless of year, have had their export restrictions lifted/removed.
If that is the case might I suggest you post such confirmation as soon as practicable.

There’s no problem, so there’s nothing to explain. There is no Distribution Statement B/C/D/E (CUI) in the manual and it is over 30 years old, so it is considered safe. If the manual was from 2004, it would not be available, but since it is 1983-1990, it is safe.

It may be missing the cover page, which is odd though?
If it had been digitized (Like as shown in the 2004 version of the same manual) and there was something that could only have been added after 1990, we would have said that the material was unavailable or need additional proof of declassification, but since there is no such thing, it should be considered safe under the presumption of innocence.
