What Cards were issued in this generic Shapira Box?

Here a couple of images from the ebay listing of the front and back panel of this box. I have a feeling no cards were included within the box, but that is just a reasonable guess, consider the Schapira Ruth cards were actually part of the box.

I would guess Lajoie upper right. And Speaker on the 'Will He Hit' panel.

There are the Schapira Big Show Baseball Cards that supposedly came in the animal circus boxes....... Sure looks like this is a better fit for those to have come in this Baseball box.

I don't know anything about these Dan but that was my thought too.

That definitely would be a better fit than the circus boxes, but it sure is strange that this is the first box that has been unearthed (at least as far as I know). Then again those Schapira baseball cards are certainly a rare beast, even in comparison to the Babe Ruth box cards.
