  Never mind the variations in the toning of the pictures.
Just check the photos a little closer:

The obvious thing is that one (or two) of the pictures is/are mirrored. Someone familiar with the car may know which way the back door really opens.
The UK LP MCF 2585 (leftmost picture) has a different picture compared to the others. The guys in yellow and red shirts have clearly moved (looks like Bill Szymczyk and Andy Powell).

Taking a photo of engravings on black vinyl is bloody hard. This is the best I could do.
