The portrait is the same in this cut out and the 1950 Drakes however this has the facsimile on it. I am not sure if there is a connection but that is the only other card I have seen with this portrait used. I am not sure who had the rights or licenses for these portraits and the use of them on products back then. I assume that it was not strict. I have also seen generics like the ones you have, I am going to have to dig them up and see.
