In general to verify an F White Face  authenticity is necessary to add
to the items you mentioned above the film spring design in the lower
film chamber, if it is prepared or not to receive the Planglas and the
ASA/DIN lightmeter wheel colors for the background and numbers, but if
you bought it brand new in 1971 there is no doubt your camera is an
authentic White Face, they were made from 1970 according the Rollei
Factory Repair Manual.

I registered a 3.5F #2835828, Planar #5033912 _ no white face_  and
then your camera is close, very close to the first 3.5F White Face,
thanks for the data.
I'm looking for the first 2.8F and 3.5F White Face (when I recall it),
for fun and for hobby because I rest my mind doing it.
