Sweet Caporals were issued with the following factory designations:

150 Series
Fac 25
Fac 30
Fac 649

350 Series
Fac 25
Fac 30

460 Series
Fac 25
Fac 30
Fac 42
Fac 42 Overprint


The Fac 25 is Virginia, and 30 is New York, both common.

I don't know where the 649 is listed, I think is is moderately rare. The Factory 42 is North Carolina, presumably the same as the Piedmont Fac 42 which only appears in the 460 series. So, it would be as rare as the Piedmont Fac 42.

I think the Fac 42 OP is the rarest of all of these, but not sure.
