They are cool printing error cards but they would never be recognized as variations. The Mike Schmidt All Star card and the Ron Guidry card are from the D sheet, the upside down overprints of Larry Gura and Nolan Ryan are from the C sheet, so that means someone at the factory messed up and overprinted the C and D backs upside down on the back and that sheet snuck through when it should have been thrown out. The C and D sheets were printed on the same 264 card super sheet which was then cut in half to separate the C and D sheets. It’s very possible that each of those cards is unique but there should be all 264 cards from that particular C and D sheet out there somewhere unless they were tossed over the last 38 years. ETA, all seven cards are from the D sheet and undoubtedly have corresponding upside down C sheet card backs overprinted on them.
