These crop up from time to time. It is a whole set (or most of one) that an early collector around 1916-1917 used a typewriter to type in "new" names that were more current than the 1909-11 names that M116 were actually printed with. The "Dugey" is actually Farmer Ray. Compare this undamaged Ray on ebay right now--

I once bought about 35 of these, and still have a couple. On all of them, someone (probably an early dealer of the 1960s or 1970s) pencilled in the correct names on the back.

I value these at about $5-10 apiece. They are interesting conversation pieces but definitely damaged.
