I recently acquired a stash of 127 format films. Most of them are Kodacolor-X. The one that expired in 1966 clearly states C22 processing. The rest (from 1969 through 1971) don't specify any processing. Do you think they'd be C41?

Also, one of the rolls is Kodak Ektachrome 64 expired 1985. I'm guessing they had switched to E6 by the mid-80's... correct?

C-41 processing was introduced by Kodak in 1972, so the unlabeled films wouldn't be C-41, based upon the dates. As E-6 was introduced in 1977, the 1985-dated Ektachrome 64 would be the standard E-6 process.
