...thinking this might be the 1970 Charity Shield game at Stamford Bridge. We won the game 2-1 and both our scorers (Whittle and Kendal are visible in this picture).

Hahaha yes, although the offside rule meant you needed 3 defenders including goalkeeper between you and the goal.
We could play one at the back with Stones.......This might explain it. Formations were 1-2-7

when did the rule change to the current one?...and was 'you cannot be offside in your own half' applicable back then?

The rule (3 defenders including goal keeper) came into force in 1866, prior to that you were offside if you were ahead of the ball.
It was in 1907 that the rule relating to being offside only in the opponents half came into play.
