Oldest BSD I have any sort of code for is 4.3 and at least by that point 
most of the Berkeley stuff is marked with this copyright string:

/*
  * Copyright (c) 198x Regents of the University of California.
  * All rights reserved.  The Berkeley software License Agreement
  * specifies the terms and conditions for redistribution.
  */

Some earlier stuff only has the first line.
