Is it possible there were multiple print runs and the formatting changed? If ours are both Sports Star Subjects, why the differences?

Here is a Bond Bread just to compare to. Note that even the Bond Bread is cropped more closely than mine.

The Musial card on ebay is an original (circa 1949) issue. Its white back confirms this.
Your Musial card is a reprint (circa ? ? ). Its toned back indicates that this card is not an original Sports Star Subject issued in 1949.
Furthermore, the image on the reprint lacks the contrast of the 1949 issue. And, if you compare the thickness of the cardboard of these two cards,
the 1949 card will feel thicker than the reprint card.
