Sheet 81A and subsequent were reserved for transients in camps, flophouses, etc. The census taker left forms to be filled out in homes he could not get answers on his initial sweep through his ED, and when he picked up the forms later, he transferred the information to the regular form that we now can see. Enumerators were instructed to destroy all sensitive material that they had in their possession. Thus the filled in forms I have (6 total) are very rare. Don't expect too many of these to surface.
