You asked.....
"....however I have seen a Sovereign and Sweet Caporal that have the same mark, any thoughts on those Ted?"

1st, I haven't seen a Sovereign with this Printer's Mark....are you sure about this ? The Sovereign press runs were later
than the other T-brands; and, by then Amer. Litho. had completely wiped off this Mark from their printing plate. Sweet
Caporal, Polar Bear & Old Mill Doyle's are also found with this Mark (but, to a much lesser degree than Piedmont).

I base this data on my sampling of 142 Joe Doyle cards which also included a few EPDG and Tolstoi backs.
