Help dating Pendleton wool woman's shirt and are the buttons original?

Lauren, This is a 49er jacket, which Pendleton made for women, starting in 1949 and continuing to the present. They can be hard to date because the style hardly varied. The large dark shell buttons are definitely original—that's a signature feature for this style. The Woolmark label (https://vintagefashionguild.org/label-resource/woolmark/) was first used in 1964, so the jacket is newer than that.
Living in the Pacific Northwest, I have had quite a few Pendletons pass through my hands. The big flat MOP buttons are pretty common on the women's jackets in my experience, although typically a lighter gray.
Does yours have thin little self fabric shoulder pads? The original 49ers did.
ETA: I overlooked the Woolmark logo! Maggie D is correct.

I love it too and would keep this for myself if I didn't find the wool so itchy scratchy!I was just going to say the same. And I love the colourway with that subtle green and blue!

There are three little stitch remnants on each inside shoulder where something has been removed. (which I hadn't noticed til you mentioned shoulder pads!)
