Their last studio album was released in 1970, and the first 24 tracks came about 4 years later.

They probably worked in 4 or 8 track formats, though 16 got really popular in late 60s.

Considering their sparse arrangements most of the time, 4 track without bouncing would yield the best sound, partly because of wider track width. The example in OP was probably done this way.
