Narrative:

Just prior to taxi and takeoff from teb; I reviewed and familiarized myself with the 'dalton' departure; for which I was cleared. I put the departure chart on the yoke clip and proceeded to taxi and take off. I made frequent reference glances at the plate during takeoff and climb out; since I was very unfamiliar with teb procedures and the area in general. As I flew the procedure as depicted; the departure controller questioned my altitude as I climbed out of 1700 ft for 2000 ft. He instructed me to descend to 1300 ft immediately as depicted on the SID. Initially I was baffled; but complied immediately. Eventually; I figured out that the appropriate plate had rotated as I clamped it to the yoke prior to takeoff; and I was actually referring to the TEB5 SID; which has nearly identical graphic depiction and routing. The climb to altitude instructions are different. Cause: human error on my part. Solution: pay more attention to organizational detail; especially without a sic to cross check the captain!

Title: C208 PLT FLIES TEB SID ALTS VICE DALTON OFF RWY 19 AT TEB.

Narrative: JUST PRIOR TO TAXI AND TAKEOFF FROM TEB; I REVIEWED AND FAMILIARIZED MYSELF WITH THE 'DALTON' DEP; FOR WHICH I WAS CLRED. I PUT THE DEP CHART ON THE YOKE CLIP AND PROCEEDED TO TAXI AND TAKE OFF. I MADE FREQUENT REFERENCE GLANCES AT THE PLATE DURING TAKEOFF AND CLB OUT; SINCE I WAS VERY UNFAMILIAR WITH TEB PROCS AND THE AREA IN GENERAL. AS I FLEW THE PROC AS DEPICTED; THE DEP CTLR QUESTIONED MY ALT AS I CLBED OUT OF 1700 FT FOR 2000 FT. HE INSTRUCTED ME TO DESCEND TO 1300 FT IMMEDIATELY AS DEPICTED ON THE SID. INITIALLY I WAS BAFFLED; BUT COMPLIED IMMEDIATELY. EVENTUALLY; I FIGURED OUT THAT THE APPROPRIATE PLATE HAD ROTATED AS I CLAMPED IT TO THE YOKE PRIOR TO TAKEOFF; AND I WAS ACTUALLY REFERRING TO THE TEB5 SID; WHICH HAS NEARLY IDENTICAL GRAPHIC DEPICTION AND ROUTING. THE CLB TO ALT INSTRUCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT. CAUSE: HUMAN ERROR ON MY PART. SOLUTION: PAY MORE ATTENTION TO ORGANIZATIONAL DETAIL; ESPECIALLY WITHOUT A SIC TO CROSS CHK THE CAPT!
