I noticed also that timeanddate.com represents Hanoi incorrectly for the 
period 1970-1975.
See attached screenshot.

Timeanddate.com is usually a good site for time zone history after 1970, 
and often goes beyond of what tzdb offers.
But here they neither included backzone nor the comment which advises to 
follow Asia/Bangkok for half of Vietnam.

That problem would easily be fixed if Asia/Hanoi were moved from 
backzone to file asia. All sites following the main distribution of tzdb 
would update. Nobody can really be expected to study the comments, to 
get exect timestamps for after 1970.
