What I've seen of the images of R4-E1, it doesn't appear like he was for sale by the Jawas, just hanging around in Mos Espa. I think those other figures in the card are just crowd members.

"R4-E1 was capable of piloting numerous vehicles and cooperating with its computer and improving its work, although he could not work as an astromech in a strict way, which meant that he could not repair vehicles or store hyperspace coordinates in his memory. Like many other droids who avoided memory wipes, R4-E1 developed his own personality; in his case, it was quite mischievous and independent. He was the companion of the spacer, smuggler, outlaw tech, BoShek."

The entirety of the Wikia entry on him, the not repairing ships/storing hyperspace coordinates but improving the ships computer leaves a lot of leeway for thematic abilities before one considers Boshek.
