Default Authenticating 1971 Bazooka numbered series?

Hi all,

I recently picked up this Yaz 1971 Bazooka #5 from eBay at a reasonable price. Since the numbered version's a fairly rare proof set, I'm aware someone could've faked it. Anyone else have another 1971 Bazooka numbered card to compare the scan to?

My 2 concerns:

1. The "5 of 48" looks somewhat dot-printed, but Bazooka did use sloppy printing sometimes.

2. There's rippling in the paper, somewhat visible in the scan.

There are clearly two layers, cardboard and paper, so it's not just printed card stock. Any help's much appreciated!
