Found this thread from 10 years ago - some interesting observations on this subject.
It is clear that some areas received cards by series and others "all 660" without overlap. It is also clear that all 5 series were printed by the end of 1972, eliminating any same-year spring training pics which used to be traditional in hi series cards.
As to the checklists, from what I can read here it seems like recollections are all over the place - only in 660 packs, only in 5th series packs, all year long, late in the year.
The thread mentions a good article on the set by Bill Haber - the link is long dead it seems. If anyone has that article, could you post?

It seems that the team checklists could not have been issued in the first three series packs because Wayne Simpson shows on the Royals Team Checklist and he didn't join that team until the second printing, which likely occurred in early December 1972 (he's card #428).
