Default Trimmed or sheet cut?

I'm bumping this thread with a recent impulse pickup that I made. I can't tell if this Dougherty portrait is a card that was trimmed after it was distributed or if it was hand cut from a sheet and pulled aside before it ever got packaged (i.e. scrap).

Under a loupe, the edges all appear to have older wear consistent with other T206's that I have, so it says to me that the cutting was done long ago. The height and width dimensions on this card are 2-5/8"x1-1/2", not too far off from what a "standard" T206 should be (2-5/8"x1-7/16"). It does seem to be missing the red coloring on his cheeks and lips when I compare it to my other Dougherty portrait examples though.

What do you guys think? Thanks!
