While perusing eBay tonight I saw two listings for the Japanese VHS release of the Movie 3 of the original Dragon Ball series, however I noticed that each have different covers and was wondering if anyone might know if one was a bootleg or if, in fact, Movie 3 actually had two different releases on VHS over in Japan? I tried checking Home Video Guide, but (for some reason) it doesn't cover the VHS releases for either Japan or North America and only shows DVD and onward instead. I have provided pictures of both as well as the URL's underneath which have more pictures on the auction page to give you a better reference to judge from.

I tend to think that the second might be a bootleg, as the actual tape itself doesn't have a decal on the face of the tape (but does on the side), while the first one has decals on both areas. The seller also says that "it is possible that the cover art has also been altered by a video store". However it looks more official then the first one and the layout of the box cover looks relatively the same as the later releases of the Japanese VHS DBZ movies that I own (5 & 13). So I don't know. Any response would be appreciated if you think you have an answer. I have no desire to buy either one, but just thought this was strange.
Does the Japanese VHS release of DB Movie 3 have two different covers?
