FYSThe oldest flips actually have SBC as the company name with a banner. You rarely see these anymore. SBC used a 1-100 point scale, but it was not the same as it is today. See first link below for an example.
The original SGC flips used the banner (white/gray instead of Green) from the SBC cards and the 100 point scale as we know it today. Seen very rarely, but much more often than the SBC flips. Shown in second link, 62 Clemente card in upper left corner.
The flipped then changed from the banner to look how we know it today (Green), but still only used the 1-100 point scale. Still see these somewhat commonly. Shown in second link, 62 Banks card next to the Clemente.
Finally, the flip as we know it today, became the split scale version. Shown in second link, 62 Killebrew in upper right hand corner.
So to my knowledge, there are 4 version in the complete history of the flip. I think the first is not included in the population reports. The other three are included.
