There is a brown variation in the 1975 Twinkies set. I have attached an example of Madlock's card.
Apparently, since the set had a short time in which it was made available (April-Aug) they were experimenting with making brown backs for the 1976 set late in the cycle. Only a few were made. I am not sure if every card in the set exists in a brown back variation.

My understanding is 1975 Brown backs only on Single cards found in Twinkies and other retail packs of Hostess products.
1976 Brown back variations are on 3 card panels.They can be found in 2 configurations 3 cards stright across and 2 on top and one one bottom (Referred to as L shaped panels) Some of the L shaped Brown variations are quite scarce. I had a Hostess store located about a mile from my House and My Dad and I would go over and work on sets on markdown days...

I have done a lot of digging regarding the initial '75 Twinkies set, I am just not familiar with the larger '75 Hostess set.
Most of the 1975 Twinkies brown backs I have seen were not released to the public but came from someone that worked for the printer and took them out of the discard pile. My understanding is the '75 Twinkies Brown backs are hand cut and don't have the oil stains common on other Twinkies. The dealer also said that the printer was experimenting with other color backs and he had a few other colors. Unfortunatley I could not acquire any. I have perhaps 120+ '75 Twinkies and only a dozen or so brown backs. All were from the same source. I have not seen any other '75 Twinkie brown back from other sources, so they must be rare.

In my observations there are 3 panels have appear to be the hardest to obtain in the ones that were issued on boxes from 1975 -1979. They are all 1975 Hostess Panels ( 10-12 Hooton with the "o" CORRECT SPELLLING), (46-48 with Yas Infield ), and (# 88-90 Rader with "e" CORRECT SPELLING). Does anyone have any others that are as difficult as these ?
