They majority are at that DTIC site. Have to search for them. I'll post links as I find them.

Pretty much covers the early development and adoption history of the M16 dated 1 JUNE 1968.

I don't know if the index of modifications Colt requested during production of the early M16's is in this document but I'll post that one too. What is interesting in it is some of the material changes that were made and have become sacrosanct as "Mil-Spec" today where actually justified on the basis that they don't significantly impact the designed performance and durability in what was originally contracted. Some changes where asked for simply to give flexibility in material selection (bolt carrier and barrel extension material) while some offered performance improvements at no additional or even less cost (Parkerizing substituted for electrolytic plating (nickel/chrome)).
