Now that I've reviewed an N173 of McQuaid (below), I wonder if the name is present on the N172 in question but very hard to read (similar to Hafner already discussed). The McQuaid N173 is a different pose (318-2) but clearly shows a very light name in script close to the feet. If the same location were selected on pose 318-3 (the card in question), it is present on the N172 card but extremely tough to read (very little contrast with background). A higher contrast N172 or the N173 of pose 318-3 would help to better determine if this is a "no name" card. However, until proven otherwise, I think we should keep it on the list.
