Yes, Bowman (GUM, Inc) stopped producing BB cards in 1941 (and some were actually issued in 1942).
But, then they started producing their WAR GUM issue which must have continued into 1943. As, card
#132 in it depicts the battle of Stalingrad which occurred in the Winter of 1942-43.

There are variations of this paper issue. As, I said I had a 24-card sheet. Smaller sheets are found and
could have been cut down from this 24 card one.

So Dennis, to answer your last "?".....I think they cut short the BB card set and switched to producing
the WAR card set.
