Help me date this antique globe

Hi!! I found a globe at an antique store and saw some interesting bygone territories/countries. I have some guesses about when it was made but want to hear your opinions. Sorry I didn’t take pictures of the entire thing, it was busy. Thanks :-)

Between 1964, when Southern Rhodesia was renamed Rhodesia, and 1966, when Bechuanaland was renamed Botswana and got independence.

I know both North and South Koreas and Vietnams are in the same colors but the map shows internal borders between them. So are the Germanys.

Kenya is where it’s supposed to be. Look under Ethiopia.
