However there seem to be two, different. I think the one that Scofield and four others worked on is a separate edition, not a facsimile reprint.

Norton's bibliography (p. 364) has:

The 1911 Tercentenary Bible ... The Text Carefully corrected and amended 1911
H2169 Oxford BS H2169 (English and American editions).

and has a special note about it:

This text stands outside the main line of the text in spite of its claim to be 'a scholarly and carefully Corrected Text of the historic English Bible,the time-honoured Authorized Version' (Preface); it sometimes changes the text substantially, eg 1 Tim. 2: 8-10: 'I will therefore that men pray every lifting up holy hands, without wrath or doubting. In like manner also, that the women clothe themselves in seemly apparel, with modesty and discretion; not with pleatings, and gold, or pearls, , or costly array; But, as becometh women professing godliness, with good works"

So Norris gets all involved in it precisely because it is an oddball edition, doubly so because Scofield is one of the men who was involved with the editing.

And it is mentioned here as a rare and unusual edition.

What Is That Old Bible Worth? - Arnold Ehlert

One of the most elusive of the 20th century English Bibles is the 1911 bible, which was a slightly revised King James published by the American branch of the Oxford University Press. It was published to commemorate the tercentenary of the King James of 1611. It was revised by a committee headed by Dr. C. I. Scofield.

Oxford University Press tapped him to serve as editor-in-chief of its tercentenary edition of the King James Bible, published in 1911, three hundred years after the original King James Bible was presented to the public.

The one you mention is covered elsewhere.

Our Bible & the Ancient Manuscripts by Sir Frederic Kenyon (1939)

In 1833 the Oxford University Press produced a line-for-line reprint of the editio princeps, and at the tercentenary in 1911 a facsimile in a reduced size, with a bibliographical introduction by A. W. Pollard, subsequently expanded into his Records of the English Bible (1911), which remains the most authoritative treatment of the subject.]

Understood. The one I referenced was specially prepared, albeit not a facsimile edition, nor does it have anything directly to do with Scofield's own 1917 edition.
