What is the date of manufacturing on this tire and rim please. The tire is a Goodyear Polyglas E-70-14 with a DOT molded number of: MDLB. Y4A415.
The rim has M5 (with 9 below), then an 8, all to the left of the valve stem. On the right of the valve stem is the number 20 and then the Chrysler logo.

My Galen book doesn't cover some of the '69 wheels for "A" bodies. Here is a shot of the tire molding number.

So, this is not correct and "out of date" for a 1969 Dart?

NO, the wheel would be for a '70 model year vehicle
& the RWL were not used until the '70 model year
& any a-body with the E70-14s would have 14x5.5" wheels
