Bumping this thread one last time. I've had a chance to do a bit more research on composite cards. My learnings below and a bonus for Darren.
Photographers did sell celebrity souvenir cabinet cards for theatre performers. Composite cards these were used for order-by-number purposes. Example below.
I have also attached a side-by-side of one of the of the tobacco trade cards I matched to.
Apparently a knife company also found a way to transfer an image onto their products. If you were a baseball fan, you'd order #132 and have that awesome image on your c1880's pocketknife. Very cool!
Finally, Darren here's the full size image of the card for you. Sorry for the wait.
