T206 - Mystery Reprints

[earthprime]

Good morning everyone!

I have two T206 cards that I'm fairly certain aren't legitimate, but I've always wanted to know their origin or which reprint set they may have come from. I acquired the cards in 1992.

The unique thing about these two cards is they're two-sided; one card has portraits for Bender/Mathewson and the other card has portraits for Waddell/Walsh. I'm not able to find any information about two-sided T206 cards or reprints with portraits on both sides. The cards are slightly thicker than authentic T206, almost like its two originals stuck together (maybe some sort of printer's proof?).

I've attached three images. Two images show the front and back of my two cards (portrait on each side for Bender/Mathewson and Waddell/Walsh). A third image includes two other authentic T206 cards so you can see how closely the unknown cards match the size and color-scheme of a real T206.

I appreciate any insight. I assume the cards are reprints of some sort, just have no idea from where.
