So theoretically 5 of each card exists as a blank back.

Very interesting, thanks for the pictures! Those really do appear to be true blank backs which I haven't seen before. The display poster that you mention was a uncut sheet that was pasted to a thicker piece of cardboard and used a standup. Many of these were cut up and they can be found if one is looking for them and patient. I have seen nothing to suggest that the sheets used for the display pieces are blank backed, but the point is moot as they are securely affixed to the cardboard.
Since this is the first I have heard of these blank backed cards/sheets I would say they are significantly rarer than the cards cut from the display and possibly unique.
