It looks like Bowman used a massive sheet in 55, or if the first 220 cards are not a series, they used extreme skip numbering for those series.
For whatever reason, they just used 2 designs in one series.
Also - 1962 Topps has some changes in the wood color between series, and the card number and baseball on back changes size.
