Since creating this video in November 2019 (also check out:    • RWS Collection & Clones | My Full Col...   where I compare more RWS decks), thanks to info being shared by subscribers, my interest in the various versions of Pam A, B, C, D etc has been peaked. In this video (and the one linked above), I claim that it looks like something has been added to expand the cards to create a borderless version in the US Games deck. This may not be so. The cards as we know them are likely cropped versions of Pixie's original art and what we see in the US Games version is indeed, not an "add-on" (but a "best guess" at what the original plates must have looked like. It is believed that the original plates and artwork were destroyed in WWII).

This is a mystery unless the team at US Games actually has some old plates! Somewhere I read that the cropping of the cards happened naturally overtime as the plates began to wear out. So whether or not the US Games borderless version is a "best guess" or not, I have yet to verify this, and I am very curious about this claim and will endeavour to solve this mystery.
