Asbestos In 1963 Safari Original Flooring?

I've been browsing the Air Forums for a long time, but this is my first time posting. After many months of searching for an Airstream, I found and purchased a 22' 1963 Safari.

The Airstream is all original and I am in the process of gutting it. I'm just about ready to remove the subfloor. The flooring contains the original vinyl (or laminate?) tiles. I've heard these may contain asbestos. Can anyone confirm this? If they do, any advice on how I can safely remove/dispose of the flooring?

You will be fine if you don't use a grinder to them. Just chip them up and put them in a garbage bag.

Any options that don't involve removing the tiles from the subfloor prior to removing the subfloor?
