1.x metadata doesn't store a 'minor number', it stores a name.
So you want
mdadm --assemble --update=name --name=1 /dev/md1 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sdf2
(assuming you like the name '1' and don't want to use - say - ImportantStuff..
I've made a note to see if I can get '--update=super-minor' to complain when
used on v1.x metadata
