I think the reason that both Shad and Jack Barry have low Sweet Caporal pops is because they were skipped in one or more of the Sweet Caporal stages.
This is just my opinion but I've said it before that I think there were several stages of printing in each print group and I think one of the stages involvedaround 25-30% of the Old Mill and Sweet Caporal 350/30, 50-75% of the Sweet Caporal 350 factory 25's and around 5-10% of the Piedmont 350's. Both Barry's are unconfirmed Old Mills and I think they weren't in that print stage and that's the reason for their low Sweet Caporal numbers.
Here's an example of a print flaw that I think occurred during that stage with the flaw data.
