I'll bet the Euro version adds to the mix!
The handlebars' height changed on the K0 twice. The earliest ones were lower than the later ones (this is only from memory, as Honda only supplied the later version, which was the K1 style, as replacement parts - customer complaints are the reason it sticks in my memory: they wanted the lower bars after they bent theirs and got new ones...).
The original K0 bars (1969) had one row of "ripples" with very fine "teeth" under the handlebar clamps, and had no "index marks" to show where they were supposed to be adjusted and set. The K1 bars (starting with the 2-cable throttle setups) had a little punch mark ("index mark") on the inside right handlebar side that you were supposed to align with the gap between the cap and steering crown's cradle. When aligned on the K0, this also made the single throttle cable point straight down and in toward the triple tree in the "most correct path" (Jinglish from a Service Note I saw), to help prevent the cable problem with the individual cables: the #4 carb cable was initially too short, and turning the bars all the way to the right, if the bars were not set just so, would pull the short cable out of the top of the carb's cable adjuster and the idle would jump to 1800 RPM or so and stay there, with #4 cylinder pulling hard. Two cable changes came along to solve that, but the real problem was mislocated bars, by unknowing techs assembling the new bikes from the crates (and ALWAYS in a hurry!).
The replacement K1-style bars that Honda supplied from early on had 2 rows of "ripples" on each side where they clamp down, much like in the picture above. On each hand, there are locating holes predrilled to make sure that the throttle grip and switch assemblies are accurately placed, so the whole setup matches right.
So...if you have a 1969 K0 with 1-row "ripples", you have some rare ones, indeed! They will be lower, to go along with the lowered front of the seat (which was there to help with those extra-wide side covers at stopsigns). The K1 seat was the first to add height to the front of the seat and stopped the "swoop" or "dip" look between the tank and seat: the handlebars were the taller K1 style. The K1 retained the ducktail seat until the "new factory" opened: then the ducktail was phased out for the K2 style seat.
I think if you look real close, you might find the K4 "Sunburst Orange" series began with another even higher handlebar, just a little bit more, and about 2 cm wider (they hit the Vetter fairings when turned fully: that how I remember them - had to pull them back a notch, and it was a coarse notch). The "ripples" on these bars were much more coarse, as were the mating clamps' teeth on the triple tree. The seat was higher, too.
