Thanks for photographing your guitar like this. Funny there's no date on the in the neck pocket or on the neck's heel.
I see your guitar has a roller bridge. I'm not too surprised the vibrato unit just says "Moseley" on it, it would be a rare example if it said "Vibramute." I do note that it also says "U.S. PAT. NO. 3,237,502" on it just above "MOSELEY;" my 1966 Ventures II which has the same vibrato unit doesn't say that.
Here's a restringing video. He restrings a left handed guitar so the strings are reversed but the process is otherwise the same. Just make sure the neck's screwed in snugly before this but don't over-tighten the neck.

Huh, the video doesn't seem to work when linking it. If it's not showing up, please just copy the link.
If you want to make it a little easier, D'addario strings are color coded at the one end so you can't get them mixed up. The main focus of this video is to not put too many winds on the tuner and to keep all the winds around the post going downward.
