Survey results added to OP.
The split so far does seem to be a function of print timing: stripes for most of the print run and no stripes at the tail-end.
The theory offered that ALC/ATC deliberately removed the stripes in response to Conroy's team change from New York to Washington is very interesting, although if that is true one has to wonder why the stripes returned to Conroy's cap in the later issued 350/460 "With Bat" card.
Thanks to all who have participated.
