In "Centennial Definitive Series 1967-1973", page 24, D. Robin Harris wrote "Two "types" of panes are distributed:
philatelic panes are sent to philatelic outlets across the country - they include plate inscriptions in one (or each of the four) corner;
field stock panes are sent to all post offices - they have
no inscriptions on the pane (because the inscriptions were trimmed off or the pane was printed without inscriptions).
The image below is on the same page. Hope this helps solve the mystery.
