JK 1 (?) Uncatalogued Karuta set

This one looks quite similar to JK1: 1949 Karuta (Dreaming of Baseball). However, the reading cards are multi-colored, with a silouette of a baseball player (similar to JK17), and some of the background choices are different (i.e. in this set Starffin's image is on a solid yellow background)
