Default 1951 Bowman Basebal Box - Questions

I have read for years that the 1951 Bowman baseball set was released in two series.

Low series - cards #1 to 252
High series - cards #232 to 324

I have looked online for many hours searching for 51 Bowman box images and cannot for the life of me find any inscriptions on box images that say...

...this is the low series box and this is the high series box.

The boxes I have found say "pictures of 340 major league players". The complete set only had 324 cards.

Maybe Bowman had intentions of 340 cards but could only get 324 players, managers and coaches to sign card contracts?

So could the boxes I have discovered all be low series boxes? Or did Bowman use the same box for both series?

So many mysteries.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike S.
