I have 3 University Press RWS decks (well, technically 2 UP and 1 Carol Publishing who bought out UP) and none of them contain LWBs, which likely explains the gap in each of the boxes....
Mine doesn't have a LWB. I'd have to go pull that out again to see if there's a gap in it. The two tuckbox decks definitely have a gap in them.Did the 1959 2-part Red Box have a Lwb? No suspicious gap in the one I have.

~5 years ago I bought a pre-copyright USG Rider Waite from eBay. The deck was in great condition except that the previous owner (friend of the seller) had written the Arabic equivalent of the Roman numeral on each of the Minors 2-10 in blue ball point pen in the upper left white border of the card. (Strangely though, no similar changes were made to the Majors.) As I knew that the RWS images aren't all the same size, I knew not to trim the deck. So I blackened all the borders with Sharpie paint pens. And since I was making a change to the deck anyway, I went all the way and pimped the deck completely. Pictures can be seen in the "Pimp my Rider!" thread in Talking Tarot.I just bought this deck from an estate sale, and the backs have been written on with a ballpoint pen. Would anyone happen to know how I might be able to remove the writing?
My second red-box set came with two different Introduction cards!
Ugghhhh...University Press decks - they'll be the end of me!
