The unfavourable scenario (presumably no one is thinking fake), is that it could be an International RR?
(Prior to that horrible "RR" which is based on it. I think based on the actual printed poster, and no connection to original plates.) Would they bother doing it for International RR? Especially with decent quality printing, (as good as the domestic). Everything points to it being contemporary to the domestic printed version, and any variances between the posters make sense. One print run for domestic version, one run for international. Whether done at the same branch of the printers or not. A different version would require a different set of plates to be made up, hence any minor differences with illustration along with required changes. (?)
