It's very interesting that Michael's Broad Leaf Becker also has a green back.

Here are some backs I have scans of, I'll see if I can scan some more this week and group them by back color.

I have not seen enough T205 BROAD LEAF cards to form an accurate correlation between their color variations (green, blue, etc.) and the DRUM cards. There aren't too many
BROAD LEAF cards with these other color variations available to make an honest evaluation. The greater majority of BROAD LEAF backs are Black ink (or Brown).

One factor I am certain of in this A = B = C = D equation is that the Black AMERICAN BEAUTY back correlates exactly with existence (or probability) of a DRUM back.

Conversely, T205 subjects printed with the Green AMERICAN BEAUTY backs are mutually-exclusive with T205's with DRUM backs.
