Does anyone know of any reason why all Apollo, Skylab and ASTP crew lithographs identify the crew on the front (e.g. "Prime crew of the fifth manned Apollo mission") with the sole exception of the Apollo 12 crew?

I have seen the Apollo 12 crew litho many times and have at least three copies. I have never seen one with any title on the front.

Furthermore, of the three I can find, one has "MSCL 36" printed on the back; one has "MSCL 36" handwritten on the back (not by me) and one has no MSCL number. Any obvious explanations for these anomalies?

No takers? I surely can't be the only person to have noticed this.

Same as you ... printing/preparation oversight perhaps?

I hadn't really noticed it before, but my Apollo 12 crew litho is the same.

All times are CT (US)
