Merging these is clearly utterly RIDICULOUS. They contain completely different data, and the 1970 argument simply won't wash.
It's "always" been the case that we only split zones that are unique post-1970. By the same token, we could merge zones that are the same post-1970. Whether there's value in there merges is debatable. But since differing pre-1970 data never were basis for zone fork, you can't rely on correctness and completeness of this data anyway, so it's questionable whether the effort expended in maintaining it is justified at all.
