When did matchbooks start having the striking surface mounted on the back side of the cover?

Close cover before striking!
I recall that matchbooks used to have the striking surface where the book opened. It was more convenient.
At some point the striking surface moved to the rear. When did that happen?
It feels like the mid-1960s but I can’t find anything about it.
