There is certainly a difference, though I am not sure it should be of much importance to whether or not it can be a T206 personally. I think Pat is pretty clearly correct in the claim to fact, whether or not that should be a decisive or even significant factor is an opinion one may or may not agree with.
Generally, the cards from subsidiaries like this have been considered a different set, like many of the C sets that are the same as the T set but having an Imperial back (or even no advertising on back and just assumed to be an Imperial Canadian release).
Is there even 1 other card issued by a tobacco company that the ATC was a stockholder of but kept operationally independent during the 1909-1912 card promotion that also has backs from the ATC direct and we consider part of 1 set? I cannot think of one off the top.
I am not a self-proclaimed expert, an expert proclaimed by any person or entity, or an intelligent feller.
