Default Px7 disk, P2 pins, and S74 silks question–Rustlers

Can anyone confirm for me the existence of a Boston National Leaguer who is not designated as a Rustler in the Px7 disk, P2 pins, and S74 silks sets? Any Boston Doves, Braves or just Nationals?

It dawned on me that it has long been known the team was the Rustlers only for the 1911 season, named after their owner, who acquired the team in December 1910 and died almost a year later. Nonetheless, these sets are generally checklisted as having been issued as early as 1909 or 1910. I have contacted a couple of collectors who confirm that all of their Boston players from the senior circuit are tagged as Rustlers, and the hobby resources I have checked say the same. It seems to me that either these were not produced at all until 1911, or if they were, some deliberate choice was made to exclude all Boston NLers until a subsequent printing in 1911. The latter makes little sense, and while the team at that time was horrid, one would expect at least one representative to be included in the initial offering.

Excuse me if this has been discussed before, but if so I could not find it. So can anyone confirm a non-Rustler from these sets or offer some explanations as why these are not a 1911 and early 1912 issue?
