Do the backs of the brown and blacks match up if superimposed one over the other? I assume they would. That could indicate the end of a Brown Hindu run occurred and then the next batch was started to kill off some ink or they ran a few for a test before they used them for scrap. If sheets were stacked and moved, even a short distance, it would make sense to use scrap sheets on the top and bottom of each stack to prevent damage to the cards meant to be cut and inserted into the packs, a "scrap sandwich" if you will. I really wonder if that's where a lot of the handcut oddities come from, not just in T206 but even Topps stuff in the 60's.
