The MIL and/or DOD-2000 are the easy answers, I am a "MIL" kinda guy and the
link is with reliability I would go with the J-STD-001 AND watch for ESD;
provided it meets existing process and foremost is in agreement with all
parties especially the Contract.  If the old doc is pre "2000" (the spec not
the year), my guess it is the beloved (and replaced by the 2000) MIL-A-28809.
 The 28809 brought us things like different color wires for rework verses
programmable, number of allowable reworks, double dipping of gold leads, no
conformal coat in the connector, discernible lead, etc...
aaah it was a wonderful life...
The even older weapons spec ~45743 (ish) was the one that stated "vias to be
solder plugged" it was a pretty hefty club for inspectors who woke up on
wrong side of bed.

Regardless of the spec used I recommend the old saying "when in doubt, spell
it out."  Good timing for solid heritage in ISO.
