Not quite sure what period you were talking about there - though you
hint at early 70s.
They had red apex bricks by the early 1970s didn't they?

(from 1971), and

(from 1973)
(all in shallow slope)
For medium slope, I'm there was a house
with a big 1x6x3 window at the front, and some
black and white tiles arranged in a criss-cross pattern
from the early 1970s (one of my favourite sets).
I'm pretty sure that had red apex medium slope bricks,
but I haven't been able to find it on the lugnet database.
Anyone?
