Each comes with only one nonstandard back — Old Mill. They don’t come with any nonstandard backs that are exclusive to the 350-only series, such as Cycle 350 or American Beauty 350 (w/frame). Each is a variation of a card that appears with a Sovereign 150 back.
My working theory has always been that these three cards are part of the 150-350 series but don’t appear with any 150 backs. Is this theory not equally plausible in your view?

Those three are 150-350 series and four in the list are 350-460 (Doyle, Kleinow, Rhoades and Smith). I bet that list was from something slightly different and was a copy and paste error or something.
This topic is really interesting. We'll probably never know why poses ended up in these little groups, but I sure would like to know!
