Butterfinger and related sets of "cards"

Strangely, ALL of the players I have seen with Butterfinger red-overprint display are missing from the O-Pee-Chee checklist. That is all but one, Lou Gehrig, and as for him, many sources have doubted his existence in the Canadian set. Could it be that Curtiss/Butterfinger did have exclusivity for some of the players, but that others were fair game to be used by different advertisers? EDITED TO ADD: Maybe not, because I have seen the Frisch pose elsewhere.

It is interesting that the "Butterfinger" set has more images than the "OPC" set. It's thought provoking that most of the overprinted Butterfingers are not in the OPC set. The OPC set is very clearly different based on size, but is it possible that the "Butterfinger" set is actually two different sets?

Has anyone seen/own:
A Ruth R310 Butterfinger overprint?
A "Foxx" or "Fox" Butterfinger overprint?
A "Fox" V94 OPC?

Could "Foxx" and "Fox" from R310 actually be from two different sets?
