This question is not something I worked on when I did the T207 articles, but it's clear to me that all 150 cards that came with Recruit backs were also printed with Napoleons, just in much smaller quantities. Of the ones reported so far, there are both the most common Recruit-class cards (Knabe, Bresnahan) and several of the least common (Ellis, Graham, Scott) so I think it's pretty safe to say that all 150 were printed with Napoleons.

It would be nice if someone wanted to try and verify this for sure, but I think it would be a long haul for a (probably) predictable conclusion.

In any case, here are the Napoleons reported by people who participated in my survey.
