Hey Rob,
To me, I would still classify it as an "E" set just based upon its back similarity to other "E" sets such as E93 and the fact that some E98s can be found with what appears to be some type of caramel or candy staining.
You and I have talked about this in the past and I like your suggestion that the Old Put stamp was possibly added later by some retailer and the cards handed out as a promotion. Its definitely possible that the cards were produced anonymously and sold to both candy and tobacco retailers to distribute as they saw fit.
Since I haven't posted anything on the new board as of yet, I thought I'd add a scan to the thread as well
