To add some tinder to the fire, it would make sense for Ontario-based World Wide Gum to release those type 4 + 5 (MLB and International League players) as wrapper exchange premiums for their 135-card, 1936-37 V355 baseball set. (While most catalogs limit V355 to one year, a few dozen contain back text that refer to post-1936 events, so must've been released across two years.) There's a decent chance anything without "Litho in USA" reflects World Wide Gum involvement.
