Hi Mike, Yes the titles in images 2 & 3 that you have imaged are what I believe to be the Canadian made first pattern. That backing is one of the characteristics of the pattern. This is one of the examples that contradict the rule about backing material and embroidery. Generally speaking, a backing that does not have the embroidery going through it is suspect of being repro. However, there are several titles that have backings over the embroidery that are not reproduction.
