My answer for you to consider the following Demmitt and O'Hara examples......
The New York versions of Demmitt & O'Hara are 350-only series guys. What series do you say the St. Louis versions are in ?
Most guys will say "350-only" series. Just like your example of Dahlen, in which only the Team in their caption was changed.
However, I say NO ! The St. Louis versions were printed in the 350/460 series. And, why do I say this... .well, you know me.
I am a "numbers" guy.The Population Report data of (200 - 300) of St. Louis cards of Demmitt or O'Hara compares with the
350/460 series subjects with POLAR BEAR backs. The numbers of POLAR BEAR subjects in the 350-only or 460-only series are
considerably less than 200 - 300.

Have you found the non 150/350 subjects that you say are out there Ted?
As I'm sure you know, the large Factory 30 (or Factory 25) notation simply differentiates which SWEET CAP factory the cards on a given sheet (when cut up) will be shipped to.
Hints of the #25 or #30 notation has been found on cards across the 5 series. I don't see what that notation has to do with anything in this matter.

Back in 2011, a Net54 member posted Rhoades (right arm extended) SWEET CAP card with the hint of large Factory # on its edge. This card is strictly a 350-only subject.
And, there are more out there. I've been collecting T206's since 1981, and trust me, I have had and have seen over 50,000 of them.
I will see if I can come up with more like the above mentioned one in the 350-only series (or 350/460 series, or the 460-only series).
