Tim, the credit for any expertise I have re the W501 cards belongs to Rhett Yeakley. Rhett wrote a wonderful article for the Fall 2011 issue of Old Cardboard Magazine that I have often referred to over the years. Below are the 2 pages of Rhett's article that include his comments about the W501 set.
I have also come to realize that another way to distinguish the W501-2 cards from the W575-1 cards is that the rectangle containing the player's image is slightly smaller, both in length and width, on a W501-2 card.
