JCM 66c: 1957 Maruya Black and White Chain Menko Type 2 is similar to Type 1, but the backside is a lighter grey ink. There are around 27 cards identified so far, but they do not have unique backs.
JCM 141: 1962 War/Playing Card Back is a short set of 8 cards, measuring 1 5/8" x 2 5/8". As with other playing card backs, it matters for the arrangement - this one has a horizontal card on top, and a war-themed image beneath, along with a massive menko number. The backs seem to be unrelated to the fronts.
JCM 137: c.1960 Maruten Question Mark Back is a set of 40 cards. These have a very busy back, including the team name, a question mark, a menko number, etc. While the menko numbers are duplicated, they are unique to the front side at least.
