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.
