Strange size, obviously it's not an original photo (type 1). Does show some imo, genuine age and wear. No back markings is not the best sign.
However you do have a detail that to me is very intriguing and I think does help in saying this could very well be a premium or picture pack photo of some kind. That being the facsimile auto, this is very commonly done at the time for premiums and picture packs. And I don't know if I've ever seen a copy of an original photo add on a unique facsimile autograph, usually forgers want to copy 1-1.
Of course it could also be an '80s printing experiment, and that's likely what others will reply. And that's fair. Though I definitely wouldn't toss it out...
Does the back show any natural discoloration indicating it has some age?
