Albert's photo might explain this situation a bit better, but without additional information, it's still just theory. I'm going to guess that someone (Sport Magazine?) acquired an archive that included both prints and negatives, created reprints from some of the negatives and added slugs, then those ended up with WWP who in turn added their stamp to all of them. If that's the case, I can certainly see how someone who had handled only examples like Albert's, would assume that all examples were modern.
I apologize for calling Albert out on this in the other thread, but it is at least giving some of us an additional education on these prints.
