Another example is Circus World. These cards (and posters) were printed at more than one location in the 1950s and 1960s, and they received the images which they then dropped into stock "templates", so while they were likely told which card was to be numbered which, mistakes were sometimes made, as Rich noted.
Rich, on the linen vs flat Warner Bros cards, every expert I know agrees that the flat cards are re-releases. In 1942, all of Warners top stars had enlisted, and they spent much of 1942-1944 re-releasing their best titles, and the cards were all flat finish (which included those that had been linen on their first release, like Robin Hood). Many of these re-release cards are sold as originals.
