I just started checking the SC 150 Factory 649's for print flaws and to see
if they might occur on more than one subject. These are a lot harder to spot than
the Plate scratch and Polar Bear flaws but fortunately there are only 34 subjects.
First I wanted to make sure that most of them are re-occurring flaws.
Here are three different Bresnahan's with the same flaw.

250028

Here's are couple of opposite sheet matches I found.

The Matty/George Davis combo got me thinking about one of the PD 150
plate scratch sheets. Erick S and I had a discussion about one of the
horizontal slots on the A-B sheet shown here....
250032
The slot in question was the one with Murphy and George Davis.
250033
Erick asked me if Matty should be in that spot instead of Davis and I had told
him that when I was putting this sheet together I was undecided about which
one should be there until I had taken a closer look at all three, Murphy/Davis and Matty.
I only had a blurry scan of the Matty but Murphy and Davis have other marks
that definitely make them a match.

250045
Here's a close up of the lower mark on Murphy and Davis.

Now all of the horizontal positions on the A-B sheet only have (had) two
subjects for each scratch so I put Murphy and Davis together on this sheet.
After finding the Davis/Matty connection on the SC 649's I took another
look at the Matty scan (this is an old scan and I have seen this matty scratch since then but I couldn't find a better scan in my records). Even with the blurry scan
I think this Matty is a match.

I went through all of my scans again and there are still only two subjects
for each slot with the exception of this one.
