Are there cards other than the Wallace that fit the back pattern?

Wallace one line and the 2 line together make the back match. Wallace is found with all the correct backs to also have an AB possible. We know Wallace no cap was an error that was corrected in the print run so using both of them together make the match possible. Without a sheet or even a strip it's hard to say how they were printed.
In the last 4 yrs I have found with the help of a few guys that our thoughts about print patterns have flaws. Joss is a DP print side by side on Pied 25 and Collins open mouth is a quad print for the PB run found as a block of 4. With that being said it is possible that some cards were just printed in lesser quantities than others. Just so much we don't know about the 205's. That's the great thing about miscuts that have been found.
