Movie star cards questions

Hi-
I recently acquired the two cards scanned below and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help with a few questions I have. From researching these cards it looks like they are from the "Cutout Head Strip Cards" as identified on Tony Kirk's movie star card website. I read his description, as well as a thread on the subject on this board, but it looks like the ones I have scanned below are a new variety. The fronts are the same, but the backs have letters to spell out Central Theatre. Has anyone seen any other backs to the cards in this set? I assume the backs were stamped on after the card was manufactured (i.e. they just took the mass produced strip cards and stamped some with this back at the theater in RI), is this most likely correct? Any additional information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Alan Elefson

Some movie houses and even Fleer, for that matter, printed their names on the backside of strip cards. They are scarce compared to blank backs.
