Here is a picture of mine although it is difficult to see the quote marks, they are definitely present ONLY on the right side of DOC which is what Andrew has pointed out. The left side is perfectly clear and doesn't show any markings of a quote strike.
Mark, we know that there were different print runs with each specific tobacco brand, which explains why the Hoblitzell "no stats" only appears on Hassan backs and why the Mathewson Cycle only has 1 loss as opposed to 11 which are on all other advertised tobacco backs. It is entirely possible that the Polar Bear run had the typeset in place and the partial strikes occurred either at the beginning of the print run or the end.
Just my two cents and an educated guess on this theory.
