If it were cut to preserve the right border, then the pieces slid over and put back together, the back should have the name and at least some of the stats showing.
Also, look at the left border as well (what would be the bottom of the card if looking at if from behind). It is also cropped, but there is no evidence of cropping (or cutting) on the back of the card.

Yes, the scan and image do match up to what the description indicates...the card back does not have the name or personal information on the back because that was the part of this card that was clearly trimmed off(that part of the back is not there in the scan). The name and personal information on the card back that have been trimmed away match up the right, front edge of the card that is missing.
The side edge parts of the front that were trimmed off were then
PEALED APART with the thin top image portion pasted/glued back onto either of the side edges of the now trimmed card(to realign the black side borders/corners with the t/b black edge borders) all to make if appear the border has not been broken all the way around. The name plate was also pealed off and reattached further to the left(this is evident in the front scan, as the paste job is not perfectly lined up). You can see in the image of the front along the t/b white edges near the corners (above the vertical black border lines) where the pealed edges have been reattached.
The fact that the back appears just trimmed down on both the t/b edges on the back would also indicate that the front edges that were cut off, were
PEALED and reattached to the front(not slid over). This is clearly evident on the back, bottom edge as it is not cut straight. The only damage to the back of the card is just where the t/b edges were trimmed off...no evidence of being cut and reattached on the back(this is due to the front having the pealed portions from the previously cut off edges glued onto the front).
I would agree that: "
If it were cut to preserve the right border, then the pieces slid over and put back together, the back should have the name and at least some of the stats showing.", however, if the card had side edges that were trimmed off, pealed apart, and then pasted back on to the front to form new edges/borders(not "
slid over and put back together"), there would be no name on the back as no part of the back was cut off and subsequently reattached.
You can see whatever you want to see, that is what I see.
