The "some" may mean a kid could get the premium from Diamond Stars or other National Chicle wrappers. Presumably National Chicle made a variety of gum brands, and perhaps a similar ad was printed on other National Chicle wrappers. If a kid returned to the store with 15 National Chicle wrappers, but only 12 Diamond Star brand, the store owner may give the kid the premium. This is only speculation on my part, and the word "some" was quoted from Old Cardboard, not a word I thought of.

The "some" may mean they know R311-1s came from Diamond Star wrapper redemption, but they aren't certain that was the only way to obtain them. Perhaps there were ads in magazines where a kid could buy a complete set. Or, as already noted, perhaps they could be obtained with wrappers from other National Chicle brands.

If someone wishes to start calling these cards R311-1 Diamond Star Premiums, that seems a fair enough name. The only other suitable name would be R311-1 National Chicle Premiums.
