1965 Topps / OPC Question

I have two 1965 cards of Brooks Robinson..one is on a white card stock and the other grey.I always thought the grey on was an OPC version. After looking on ebay of 1965 OPC that had scans of the backs they all had "printed in canada".....neither of my cards has this on the back.
Question was there a topps variation of card stock in 1965?
Do all the OPC from 65 have "printed in canada" on the back?
Just trying to figure out what I have
Thanks Scott

Do you have scans of the two backs?

I remember hearing something about this. I could be wrong.
We would have to see a known OPC Robinson.

Edited to add: I think now that all have the 'printed in Canada' backs.
Is it possible the card that appears grey is simply toned?

I will try to get the scans of the grey and white robinson up shortly
the grey one has that opc wire cut edge-I am thinking the grey card stock is a opc without "printed in canada" on it-someone earlier stated that they thought some of the opc cards could have been printed without the "printed in canada"
so is mine rare? Scott
That sure does look like an OPC back (without the Printed in Canada snippet). Puzzling.

Edited to say: I like tsalem1's theory about there not being room in the white area for the Canada line. I don't have access to card #139 at the moment to check the back, but is that one that also doesn't have room in the white area?
