For any reprints to have originated with Sport and wound up with WWP seems backward to me, given where they wound up.

Yup, that is what I was going to assume myself. SPORT magazine stamps were added OVER the WWP stamps.
It's also not out of the realm to assume that WWP had acquired both original prints AND negatives during their reign. I've seen too many originals passed down and stamped by various news archives through the years, to think otherwise. Sometimes 3-4 different organizations on popular shots.
