Ted, not sure as I think the theory is being disproven. Here's what I found using the Classic Baseball Cards book for M116 and VCP for T206. The matches from Ted's list above (asterisks mean I am 99% certain it's a match) are:

Beaumont (Team Change in M116)
Bender
Bradley
Chase
Cobb
Criger
Dahlen
Dooin
Dougherty
Evers
Griffith
Jennings *
Joss
Kling
Lajoie *
Leach
Magee
O'Leary
Overall
Plank
Spade
Steinfeldt
Sullivan *
Tinker
Turner
Waddell
Wallace
Walsh *
Doc White
Willis (75% certain)
Wiltse (50% certain)
CYoung

I can't find a picture of Parent in M116 so don't know. I also noticed there are no team ids or logos on the M116 uniforms.

You all can draw your own conclusions but I'm leaning against my own theory now after looking at this list. It looks like just about 50% of the portraits from the 150 series have matches in M116. I suspect the ratio holds for the 350 and 460 series cards as well.
