Not that I can recall from decades ago. Note that a few people have taken the focusing screen from the newer 67ii body and retrofitted it to the 6x7 / 67 body. All well and good as an experiment, but it also affects the TTL meter accuracy, requiring either a) knowledge of compensation above or below the mid-line (correct) TTL reading or b) compensating using a separate hand-held meter in spot/multispot or incident (whatever you are comfortable with).

Pentax made a split-screen focusing screen for the 67 (it doesn't have the micro-prism collar around it though). As far as I'm aware it wasn't user replacable (a Pentax service centre had to do it). My 6x7 MLU has the mico-prism screen, my 67 has the split-image, overall I prefer the micro-prism screen.

Beatie also made a 'brighter' screen for it, this would affect the TTL meter prism.

As far as I know, they're not made anymore.
I have a split screen from Beattie in my old 67.
