I think every white back card of Alston has this frame gap in the top left, and all the cream back cards don't have the gap. The cream back is a little easier in series 1 but the white back/frame gap card isn't difficult at all. I'm pretty sure this is a clue to which stock was the initial run, I have most of series 1 with both backs but haven't finished hunting down all the RPD's with both backs and observed enough to know if they probably don't exist with a certain back. I do think Alston here implies that the two stocks were not done at the same time.
Just checked mine. As you said, the white back has the notch, cream back does not.
