Default W516-2-1 vs W516-2-2 differences?

I have two Ruth cards, one graded by PSA as 1921 W516-2-1 and the other by SGC as W516-2-2. However, when I look at them, they seem exactly the same. Am I missing something or did one of the graders get the flip wrong?

Thanks! Gary

According to the Old Cardboard web site, it's a W516-2-1 because of the typeset lettering

W516-1-1 (mistakenly listed as simply W516-1 in book) and W516-2-3 have IFS/IFC symbol correct.
W516-1-2, W516-2-1, and W516-2-2 have IFC/IFS symbol reversed.

W516-1-1, W516-1-2, and W516-2-2 have hand written font
W516-2-1 and W516-2-3 have serif font.

They are both from the same set, SGC got it wrong.

These both look like w516-2-1's to me. Here's a good resource to tell the difference...

Yeah they both look like 516-2-1s, unless Babe Ruth threw with his right hand.
