1972 OPC hockey - checklists and the missing card #208

If you are familiar with early to mid 1970’s OPC hockey, you know that the cards were distributed in 2 or 3 series. Series 1 would have a checklist for series 1 as well as a ‘preview’ checklist for series 2. Series 2 would also have a series 2 checklist but with any changes or corrections identified after the release of series 1.
1972 OPC was issued in 3 series, and PSA lists the cards like this:
Series 1 (cards 1 – 110)
======
#6 Checklist 1
#19 Checklist 2 – lists 160 as Bill Harris
Series 2 (cards 111 – 209)
======
#190 Checklist 2 – lists 160 as Jack Lynch
# 208 card does not exist
Series 3 (cards 210-341)
======
#334a Checklist 3 - #335 – 341 listed as ‘More WHA’
#334b Checklist 3 - #335 – 341 lists players names
I can’t remember which exactly, but I believe that #19 and #190 both list card #208 as a checklist.
It seems pretty obvious to me what probably has happened here, but without knowing what the uncut series 2 sheet looks like, I may never know.
PSA lists 2 variations of card 334 and says there are only 340 cards in the set. I believe the cards were actually distributed like this:
Series 1
---------
#6 Checklist 1
#19 Checklist 2 – lists 160 as Bill Harris
Series 2
----------
#190 Checklist 2 – lists 160 as Jack Lynch
#334a Checklist 3 - #335 – 341 listed as ‘More WHA’ ------- Error – should be #d as card 208
Series 3
---------
#334b Checklist 3 - #335 – 341 lists players names
and that there are 341 cards in the set, with what PSA calls a 334 variation, actually being the ‘not produced’ card #208. This seems far too logical to have been overlooked by PSA.
I know 99% of the members are BB, but does anyone have an uncut series 2 or 3 sheet that can confirm this or have any comments?
