Hi. The messed up titles from Amazon are usually from third-party
sellers who take a lot of shortcuts, putting all of the information in
the title. Please edit those! Thanks. Presumably that will bring the
books together (but I don't know if that merging software is currently
running).
As for what is a "different edition" -- this is not an easy question.
Texts get reprinted often, especially those in the public domain, but
each new "act" on the part of a publisher is considered a new edition,
because you don't know what might have changed (new preface, added
illustrations...). For modern books (after about 1970) the shortcut
answer is: if it has a different ISBN, it is a different edition.

regarding title of :

Amazon says "275 pages", so it seems to be a straightforward reprint of
"True Names"
