I think that you are right. I assumed that they both had the holes on the on their left hand borders. Examples with full borders and no holes were surely issued as individual premiums by The Sporting Life and were not a part of their bound portfolios.

I need to look in my files and see if I have images of the ads in The Sporting Life to see when the individual premiums were offered for sale compared to the complete portfolios. I am not sure which ones came first.
