Do the Apollo astronaut official NASA WSS (white spacesuit astronaut portrait) lithos have information printed on the back, are the backs blank or do some have information printed on the back and some are blank?

Looking at my collection, it looks like the portraits of astronauts that flew before Apollo 15 has a printed bio info on the back. The portraits of astronauts in the WSS that flew on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 all have blank backs.

All of my lithos came from NASA in the 80's. I'm not sure if the lithos sent out during the moon landings were printed in the same manner.

All times are CT (US)
