Hello german friend. Thank you for confirming my 1969 count. My count is year by year '64 Laver 5 Gonzales 8 (includes scarborough); '65  9-4 ; '66   2-2;  '67  8-2; '68  5-2 ; '69  4-0 ; '70  2-2. This gives Laver a 35-20 edge. The only ntl event I have not seen the full draw for  in '69 is Laver's win at Orlando over Rosewall. I saw your link to the warehouse talk and I am very pleased that someone has tracked down this extra match at the Dutch round robin. I use to think this was a 4 man rr, but found out it was 8 man with 2 groups of 4 earlier this year. There were some upsets at this event with Ralston  beating Rosewall on clay.  On the 1963 results I am slightly suspicious of Laver winning twice by the same score 6-0, 6-3 at MSG; once in the 6 man phase and once in the final play-off phase.
