Well this article says it was a social security card with a name on it. A name they wouldn’t release and didn’t match any “local reports of missing persons”. Hmm.

Well, is there any chance the name can be released now?

I'm not really sure why it couldn't be released then actually?

Surely with the SS card details, his family could be traced? Or at least an address?

Surely if a card or name was available now DDP would have access to that information. I’d hope anyway.
 
Could a draft card been mistaken for a social security card? I honest don’t know and Google isn’t of much help.

I don't really remember, but I think they might be quite similar? Pretty sure they're both red and blue ink with an eagle, but I seem to recall green on the draft card. It's been too long since I've seen either.

A Vietnam-era draft card worn out from years in a wallet
From 1948, under the Selective Service Act, all American men aged 18 through 25 were required to register with a local draft board. In case of war, the able-bodied ones among them could be drafted to serve in the military. The law required the men to carry their draft cards with them at all times. These were small cards bearing the registrant's identifying information, the date and place of registration, and a unique Selective Service number.

In an amendment sponsored by Congressmen L. Mendel Rivers and William G. Bray, on August 31, 1965, the law was augmented with four words, to include penalties for any person who "knowingly destroys, knowingly mutilates" the card, under 50 U.S.C. § 462(b)(3).[10] Strom Thurmond moved the bill through the Senate, calling draft-card burning "contumacious conduct" which "represents a potential threat to the exercise of the power to raise and support armies."[7] At the time, many observers (including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit) believed that Congress had intentionally targeted anti-war
draft-card burners.[11]
