After reading the article by Mr. Vrechek regarding the new 1963 series 5 variations, I looked for any uncut or miscut material for these cards. What I found suggests that the Series 5 printing looked like the following:
Slit A:
R/G
R/B U/D
R/Y
R/G U/D
Y/R
Y/R UD
G/O
G/Y U/D
R/G
R/B U/D
R/Y
R/G U/D
Slit B
Y/R
Y/R UD
G/O
G/Y U/D
R/G
R/B U/D
R/Y
R/G U/D
Y/R
Y/R UD
G/O
G/Y U/D
The one stripe version of the McBean card, along with the other variations associated with that, would be in the upside-down red border, green inset rows.
Based on this print configuration, the R/B, R/Y, Y/R (& Y/R upside down), G/Y, and G/O would all be printed 3x each across the sheet so 66 cards 3x each (198 cards), while the R/G would be printed 6x each (3 right side up, and 3 upside down). The variations would occur in equal numbers. So, no SPs exists in the series 5 printing.
