Default 1939-46 Salutation Exhibits Bob Feller pitching variation

I have read about different croppings / projections in the 1939-46 Salutation Exhibits set and decided to take a closer look at a few Bob Feller pitching examples I have. Sure enough there is a 'small projection" and "large projection" version of this card. This is probably known to collectors of this set, but I was unaware.

If you look at the shadow to the right of Feller's foot the small projection version has two spikes sticking out below the shadow, and the large projection card only has one spike below the shadow. This is consistent across the handful of cards I examined on various auction sites and Worthpoint as well.

Guessing these might be from different years / printings but wondering if anyone can shed more light on this. Both versions seem plentiful and come up on ebay often.
