That card does not appear to be a Venezuela Topps card... the cardstock is too white, especially on the back. The Venezuelan cards have a distinctly beige cardstock. If you have the card in your possession and can examine it personally, it would also have a grainy, sandstone-like appearance of the stock on the back, and the front would be completely lacking gloss. I have little doubt it will not have those characteristics.

I suspect the card was on a salesman's sample 3-card panel and was cut off cleanly. The only place I can think of where green ink would have possibly been used on the reverse would have been a salesman's sample. There is not a single card in the entire 1966 set that has that color green ink on the reverse, however, salesman's samples were often printed with green ink.
