In the regular 1969 Topps set most players had the Topps logo around the number except those players with 15+ stat lines on back that required more space and on those players they went with the simple number in circle (like on the rookie cards) in order to save space. If you look at players like Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, etc they will have the small number in circle, With Clemente they were just able to keep the normal configuration with his stats. In the OPeeChee version they would need to change the Topps logo to OPeeChee, so they did.
