I am afraid that I can't answer this. I know that Dave A. picked up a set of percentile dice on a trip to England in 1968. Dave Wesley also picked up a set at about the same time. I personally didn't see a percentile die until we got our little brown box sets of D&D rules in 1974. That doesn't mean Dave A. was not using them behind his referee screen, I could not see what dice he was rolling. He generally didn't show us what he rolled, just told us the results.
When I was rolling for specific percentages in the early days, I generally used three d6s with a specific set of outcomes (between 3 and 18) whose combined probability of coming up matched the desired percentage result. John Snider had a little chart that showed what numbers to roll would provide a specific percentage result. Does that make sense?
