Those sheets are really great.
However, they do not really tell us what the arrangement of the Elite 11 subjects were when American Litho (ALC) subsequently printed the PIEDMONT 350 backs.
We do not know for sure how they modified the plates for the 350 print runs.
The fact that just 133 (of the 143) subjects of the 150/350 series cards were printed with PIEDMONT 350 backs tells us that ALC did some modifying.

Yes, the SOVEREIGN 350 (apple green) print run occurred later in the game. However, that does not tell us where in the process Joe Doyle was initially printed.
Consider this.....the Six Super-Prints were also printed on that SOVEREIGN 350 sheet. And, we know for a fact that these 6 subjects were initially printed when
ALC first started the 350-only Series.
