Each comes with only one nonstandard back — Old Mill. They don’t come with any nonstandard backs that are exclusive to the 350-only series, such as Cycle 350 or American Beauty 350 (w/frame). Each is a variation of a card that appears with a Sovereign 150 back.
My working theory has always been that these three cards are part of the 150-350 series but don’t appear with any 150 backs. Is this theory not equally plausible in your view?

This topic has been discussed before. And it becomes complicated. You and I could spend hours trying to convince each other.
My answer for you to consider the following Demmitt and O'Hara examples......
The New York versions of Demmitt & O'Hara are
350-only series guys. What series do you say the St. Louis versions are in ?
Most guys will say "350-only" series. Just like your example of Dahlen, in which only the Team in their caption was changed.
However, I say NO ! The St. Louis versions were printed in the
350/460 series. And, why do I say this....well, you know me.
I am a "numbers" guy. The Population Report data of (200 - 300) of St. Louis cards of Demmitt or O'Hara compares with the
350/460 series subjects with POLAR BEAR backs. The numbers of POLAR BEAR subjects in the 350-only or 460-only series are
considerably less than 200 - 300.
