So, besides the blank back, Famous & Barr and Standard Biscuit versions, are there any other Ruths that are generally considered to be from the earlier "M101-5" series?

Hobby research has revealed that the extremely scarce “Holmes to Homes” and “Morehouse Baking” issues can also be M101-5. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, no 1916 Ruth rookies are currently known with these ad backs.
