In theory, it is impossible to prove a variant of part was never used in any
copy of a set, produced over 2-3 years.

This set is an upgraded version of set
 
Set No: 369  Name: Coast Guard Station
* 
369-1 (Inv) Coast Guard Station
254 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1976
Sets: LEGOLAND: Coast Guard
and its instructions was copied and changed from that but apparently they forgot
to change the baseplate or they decided to not print dots on the baseplate after
the design of instructions.

I have checked many used copies of this set sold on Ebay but did not see even
once the baseplate

* 
x244px1 Baseplate 24 x 40 with Set 369/575 Dots Pattern

I even paid attention to only check those copies that came with early version
of the box. I also checked if there is any seller in US selling this baseplate.
Not that it would prove anything but seeing no seller in USA selling this baseplate
confirms this.
I myself bought two copies of 575-1.

Note that only the baseplate
 
Part No: x244  Name: Baseplate 24 x 40
* 
x244 Baseplate 24 x 40
Parts: Baseplate
is listed in the inventory of
 
Set No: 575  Name: Coast Guard Station (Canadian Edition)
* 
575-2 (Inv) Coast Guard Station (Canadian Edition)
284 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 1978
Sets: Town: Classic Town: Coast Guard

It is possible to upload a few photos of used copies of this set on Ebay where
the baseplate is
 
Part No: x244  Name: Baseplate 24 x 40
* 
x244 Baseplate 24 x 40
Parts: Baseplate

but not sure if that helps.

Were there a few early-productions in which the baseplate x244 was used? The
chance if very slim. After 4-5 years checking those used copies sold on Ebay,
I have not seen any.
