This is what I believe happened. It fits what I have seen over the years in card populations. Without seeing the other half (2nd 132 card sheet), we will never know.
Just based on my personal experience, the 7th series 1967 Topps never came into our area. I believe it was one of if not the least distributed Series of Topps in 1954-1973. I think that Card Collectors Company got a larger than normal supply and were a main source for the hobby. Collectors who never saw the cards would have bought complete series creating an excess of double printed cards in one source. Just my theory.
