And here is an interesting Bednarik. Bednarik is at the bottom of the 5th 32 card grouping, in the same position relatively as Lansford. The only Red card at the top of a grouping in the corresponding slot is Tank Younger, #38. This matches the red and the white glow of the Younger card.
This one seems to confirm that the 1955 Bowman's had all the series on sheets together; though I suspect that it is probably a situation like the baseball series that preceded it, some cards replacing others as time went on, with multiple layouts. That will be very difficult to prove or disprove with only miscuts.
I am going to try and find 1952/1954 examples too, but those are a more difficult design to match like this.
