Buyer Confusion on Nancy Drew #7

Many buyers do not know what the front cover of Nancy Drew books look like for certain types of endpapers.

Nancy Drew Mystery Nancy's Mysterious Letter 1932! Item #140255114964

Most of the questions asked of the seller were necessary for the buyers to determine the printing of the book. The first part of this question was not necessary:
Question: What type of endpaper design does it have? What is the last ND title listed on the front inside flap of DJ?

Answer: The inside cover and endpaper is orange silhouette of Nancy Drew with a magnifying glass and three girls standing across the way. The last Nancy drew Story listed is The Mystery Of The Ivory Charm. Ed
This is the seller's photo of the book:


All books with the orange silhouette in the center of the front cover have the orange silhouette endpapers. There are no exceptions whatsoever! Notice that the center of the front cover has an orange silhouette. Likewise, the endpapers have the orange silhouette.

This is what a blank endpapers book looks like:

Notice that there is no image of Nancy Drew on the front cover. Likewise, the endpapers are blank; there is nothing printed on them.

It gets a little harder with the later books. After all, there are a few books that have the blue silhouette on the front cover but have orange silhouette endpapers. However, for the two types pictured above, it is easy.
