What I was trying to say is both Elberfelds have the same mark on the backs
that are were not part of the normal printing process and this particular mark
would have only been on Elberfelds or possibly one other player from the same sheet position if the back plates were used on two different sets of fronts. If it were refronted it would of had to have been done on a card with
the same mark on the back.

Here's an example of a more pronounced mark that is found on several
Ganzel and Brains that came from the same sheet positions.
