I doubt whether anything is wrong. Voltage regulators are built to create maximum charging voltage when they are cold. This one may be slightly on the high side, but it looks like it calms down quickly.
One of the reasons they don't include ammeters on late model cars is they sometimes spook the driver...
The era of the 40A alternator was over in 1968.
