On the Moran "stray line" variation, whose stray line of text appears on the card?

Also, I've always assumed that the line of text fell off the printing press, and the printer put it back in the wrong place. But if that were the case, then a corresponding missing line variation would be found for the other guy, but no such card is known. So what is the accepted theory of how that stray line occurred?

Pre-War Cards just mentioned that card in an article. Extra line is from Al Mattern.

Thanks Rich for the link. But I assume nobody has ever seen a Mattern with that line missing.
