50 cards

A number of variations exist for this collection, along with a few varieties as listed below.
UPDATE (27-12-2016 15:59):  Roger Long has provided more information about the third set of these cards. They are now correctly identified and listed in the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain handbook. The three different versions of the Alan Harrington card are shown above in chronological order, 1958 with the inverted back, 1959 with the smaller design on the back and the 1960 version where the text has been updated to reflect the later printing. I am grateful to Roger Long for the scans of the 1960 card.
UPDATE (31-12-2016 14:19):  Checklist updated to correspond with the captions on the back of the cards.
