Sheet Size & Layout
With the assumption the cards were laid out in 4x8 blocks and the total cards distributed in each series was 224, I determined an overall sheet with 16 cards tall and 14 cards wide was the most logic sheet sized Bowman would use as it would contain 224 total cards. The US Navy sheet posted earlier in this thread was 16 cards tall x 7 cards wide, which would is most likely a half sheet, but backs up my theory of the sheet size Using all of the miscut information and existing partial sheets, I started attempting to recreate a virtual sheet. Having no luck, I went back and started searching through cards images I had and came across these 2 cards (see below).

Using the assumption that upper half of the sheet had the cards laid out updside down, I came up with following layout for the 2nd series sheet.

The cards in rows 1-8 are upside down and the numbers in orange are the hi-series cards. My current theory is that this sheet layout is the only sheet layout Bowman used to distribute the 2nd series cards. For the 1st series, this isn't the case
