Red/Orange Backs - Differences

I didn't see anything mentioned about this thus far, so if this has been noticed and dismissed, I apologize, but in looking at the backs of some PreRelease (Wave 0.5) cards, and Wave 1-4 cards, I noticed the backs of the Red/Orange cards were different.

Specifically, the newer cards show more to the left, top and bottom of the "image", while the prerelease cards show more of the right of the image.

In looking at the rao, on the prerelease card more of the passport to the right is exposed, showing a numeral 5 and confirming that the text says "VISA INDIAN". That would make the visible text in the first printed line on the passport to be "R 93325". Also, in the green seal on the bottom right of the passport, the words "Commission of" can be read, preceeded by what appears to be "Hiat".

Finally, the paper the central card is printed on is larger in the Prerelease version, having more of a border around the printed material. This shows more of the "watermark" on the card, which appears to have some sort of insignia. Having just started digging into this, this may be a logo found elsewhere, but what I can see below seems to read "Delaney (K?)ermee" along the bottom, and "ere initium sapie" (the latter is more visible on the newer card, except for part of "sapie") which I believe translates from Latin to something about the beginning of wisdom.

Yea, I'm an excited noob, but maybe it helps.

Here's a scan comparing the Wave 0.5 Release backing (left) with the Other Wave Release backing (right). Enjoy.
