True Brian, but as you may know the artwork seems to be the same used for Killifer in his Cracker Jack cards from about the same time, or is at least highly similar:

Still, according to Lipset, Killefer is the only subject whose pose is different from T205 or T202, so you've got yourself a good one there!

P.S. Curiously, Killifer does not appear at all in the P2 pins, Px7 Domino disks or S74 silks that all used the T202/t205 pose.
