Actually, for the 1921 E121 pitching pose, the difference in the name in the caption is a true variation. There are three ways the name is displayed:

Babe Ruth (w/o quotes)
"Babe" Ruth (w/ quotes)
George Ruth

For the 1922 E121 cards (holding ball, bird, montage), I have only seen the "Babe" Ruth (w/ quotes) as the caption even though PSA shows other variations in the pop report.

For the 1922 W575-1 pitching pose, there are also three ways the caption is displayed, same as the 1921 E121 version.
