Hi Sunburst:
Exact date who knows. They both were made by Kinfolks I would imagine.
We can get a ten year window by saying 1938 cause Knifolks only were in business from 28 to 48. Could probably get closer by finding when KF first produced their model 962 which is marked on their branded knife. The Jean Case I think is a marbles woodcraft pattern. There is some argument as to when Kinfolks actually made knives. I tried to take a mean average of the dates I have read about. The newer K/F were made by Robeson who bought them out in early 50's. J.R. Case died circa 1951.
Of course as usual an opinion is only as good as the research material.
