I don't know what was intended by your link, other than Frank's post therein claimed to have mentioned something about the backs in 2005,6 or 7. The post I saw where he opined them to be fake was in August 2008.

Default New discovery of Old Mill Double Bars Overprint Back
Posted By: fkw
The strange thing with this screwup missprint is the others Ive seen (single and double) are printed in red, not black.
The red one is a Sweet Caporal overprint mistakenly printed on a brown Old Mill back. (The double had the sheet flipped and then reprinted)
Makes no sense to have red and black ones. I smell a fake

Seems to me he called these fakes at that time. I didn't dig much further into this, because again, I don't care all that much.
