    My copy is identical to variant b but the "B P BL-31996-2A" bit isn't edged but stamped.

      The album I have shows the following charecteristics:
      Orange CBS labels, S 64717 (KC 31 067), ℗1971 on left side of the label underneath the stereo double arrow, Made in Holland.
      Matrix runout (looks like handcarved) : S 64717 A , S 64717 B (the 7 in the middle looks like a fusion of Z and 7)
