From auction description: "Unfortunately the second Brown HINDU card has been neatly mounted face down alongside Reulback, preventing us from determining which player it represents."

I've only handled a few cards with notebook or other paper stuck to them and haven't tried this, but wondered if you shined a bright light on the Hindu back, if you might be able to look through the ledger paper to see the player on the front of the card. Thoughts? I would think that this could be a significant detail.

I do not believe that the information on the back of this piece pertains to the Hindu printing or packaging. It's more than likely in reference to another T206 back or possibly another issue all together.

I agree. No way to tell if this is Hindu reference on the backside. Especially if you consider that the page with the pasted Hindus is the left facing page (for argument's sake, page 1). Then you'd have a right facing page opposite (pg. 2), then turn the page, and you have another left facing page (pg. 3) and then this back which would be now the 4th page. It is too far removed to have a direct correlation with the cards on the opposite side.

Some examples of pages related to non-sports cards:

It seems to me that these ledger pages could just as well pages out a ledger used by a collector of years gone by, maybe someone who either was on the inside at American Litho or at American Tobacco, or knew someone who was, close in time to when the cards were issued.

That possibility seems as likely to me as thinking these are from some manufacturing or distributing entity.

Frank,
I am fairly certain these came from the factory or printer. The reason for this is the unissued t206s (and I think a couple of unissued non-sports as well). These would most likely originate from the original printings of the cards.
