I believe the April 1910 date refers to the T6 Murad College series (larger size cards). There are two versions of the T6 redemption card and the one shown is the revised version (with mail out date), while the original T6 redemption card just had the offer expiry date.
Given the above, and that the Murad T51 came before the T6, the date for T51 cards is generally thought to be 1909.
We can also be fairly sure that the T51 cards from Series 1 that have the number (e,g Williams #14 basketball card) came before the Series 1 without numbers. This comes down to the fact that the Series 1 cards are the only ones to have a numbered version. No other series in the set have a number version.
Keen to hear other thoughts on this.
