As far as I've seen, there is no other completely-different image card for any of the 1948-1949 Leaf issues, baseball or otherwise. The Boxing set does have the pulled Graziano card with only a handful known to exist at all (and numerous variations with fighters shirts and coloring, but all the same poses). I believe the Newhouser remains a "1 of 1", presumably an internal sample or protoype of some sort.
Here's the auction it appeared in originally in 2009 (
