This can't happen at the BEP, the way understand it because the face and back are printed at different times, sometimes years apart.
An offset occurs when either the face or the back is printed and there is no sheet of paper between the plate and the press surface (bed) underneath the sheet. The inked image from the plate is transferred to the bed and will appear on the back of whatever is being printed on the face when the next sheet is fed and printed. Subsequent sheets will have lighter and lighter transferred images.

Yes, I guess that is the only way to find out if this is authentic. It certainly appears to be so but I can't wrap my head around how it would be possible to occur.
I hadn't noticed another major issue. The offsetting occurs in two different separate areas on each side. I haven't seen this either on any other offset. It's fake.

I have never run across one like this before.

That’s a first for me…typically it’s either front or back
That's different.

Personally, I wouldn’t be interested in it without it be authenticated…but maybe it’s just me

No, it doesn't appear genuine to me.
