No idea. DiMaggio is wearing number 18 on the Hank Erickson National Chicle.
This write up on Musial's 1941 debut features the original photo used for the Montiel card. Looks like a Cardinals uniform to me:

From the photo credit on the web page: Stan Musial — pictured wearing a number 19 jersey during spring training 1942 in St. Petersburg, Florida — hit .426 in 12 games as a rookie call-up in September 1941. (National Baseball Hall of Fame Library)
So the Montiel features a photo of Musial from spring training 1942. I would say that's another plus for that card.
