I tend to think that the "Pirate" backs and the "Pirate" packs were printed in England. So, we shipped to Wills Tobacco blank-backs of T215-type cards.
This would make more sense to me, since the "Pirate" Non-Sports Asian cards were most likely printed in England.
However, that contradicts my thinking that these recent finds of very sharp condition "Pirate" cards originated straight from the American Litho. Co.
Therefore, I gues I'm uncertain where the backs were printed.
Anyhow, those are my opinions.
