Clayton, perhaps they were in a hurry and didn't want to wait any longer than possible for the backs to dry.
Also, WST's are most common with Sweet Cap and Tolstoi, and I believe Polar Bear, but there are other brands where you never see WST's. Does it have something to do with the quality of the ink? Or could it be, as you theorized, that the backs were printed at a different place for some cards?
A good exercise would be to gather data on which backs (including factory,series,OP's) are most likely to have WST's. It might give us more clues about how/where they were printed.
