1971 topps uncut sheets????

Hello,
does anyone have any info on uncut sheet layouts for the 1971 set? Does Topps have a museum/historian who keeps track of this stuff? If Topps used all 132 slots on all 12 sheets it printed, then it means there were double prints in series 3, 4, and 5. I know they used the double print process and a smaller print run to create the SP's in series six, but what happened in series 5? If I did my math right, there are only 120 new cards in series 5 (643-523=120). So assuming one of the double prints is the series 5 checklist, #499, who are the other 11 double prints and why aren't they listed in the price guides? Any help would be much appreciated...

    I have photo's of almost all the uncut sheets from 1971, for series 5 I have an OPC sheet plus half of the US version. The OPC series 5 sheet indicates that the row with Tony Perez and Willie Mays are the 11 DP's. The 1/2 US version doesn'tsupport that theory. Email me at jmoran19j@hotmail.com. John.
