Another variant here:

The label and catalog number are correct, and the IAM triangle is visible.

HELP! matrix: 45 X 45292 F 5
I'M DOWN matrix: 45 X 45293 G6 2

My copy has the IAM in the triangle on both sides of the runout.
Matrix numbers are different from what is listed:
I'M DOWN: 45 X 45243 - G6
HELP!: 45 X-45292 - F #3 (last digit is not clear)
Picture sleeve & labels correct
So what version is this?
