Got these and am not sure what era they are from (pretty sure they aren't a matching pair). The bottom says "new beat" on it. Thanks in advance for any info.

My New Beats history page: http://black.net.nz/avedis/new-beats.html#NBtop
That ink is first generation when the bottom hat was sold separately and you paired it up with a medium weight (aka "regular") top. Years: 1963-1970 give or take. According to new information from Zildjian (thanks to Paul Francis) it was 1970 when they first promoted the New Beat cymbals as a pair. I haven't updated my page to reflect this yet so it still says 1968±2. Which lets me off the hook on needing to do the change right away. My whole site needs a 2019 revamp.
That looks like the short version of the 60s trademark stamp on both of them, which is consistent with the ink.
