Default M101-5 Successful Farming Help Needed

I have the Eddie Burns card below. To me, it looks like it is almost certainly rebacked. I don't think I have had an M101-5 before and definitely have not had a Successful Farming card. My question: Is this a skinned Burns glued to a skinned back? Is it a skinned Burns glued to a possibly complete M101-5? The card is pretty thick - the last image is this card compared to a T206. I suppose I am wondering whether a soak might reveal a complete M101-5 Successful Farming under the skinned Burns addition to the top.

Thanks

There shouldn't be two colored layers like that.

Well, the first sign of something being off is that Eddie Burns is supposed to be card #17 in m101-5, and yours is #18. Because Successful Farming cards are associated with m101-5 only, your card seems dubious.

And, Eddie Burns is listed as being card #18 for the M101-4 sets.

Also, a telltale sign is that the card picture (background) looks to be the same color as the borders on yours. Those borders should be a distinctively different shade than the pic itself. Note the whiter borders on this rare Salesmans sample....

Leon, how are you able to determine that your SF card is a rare salesman's sample?
