Seems very sound, based on that information (if the wiki info is
correct, that is). And as mentioned before.. why would a second plate/
art be done for an international release OS? The art is very similar
to the HA copy, but it is NOT the same. Why go to that added creative
"trouble" and added cost, to simply create and print a poster for
overseas use, during the film's initial release?
Or has that been done before, too?
As well as the pertinent textual info missing from this copy (again,
compared to the HA 49 copy).
Seems to raise questions, indeed.

As London Films went bust in 1955 and Lion International Films was
set up as a distribution company in January 1955 (surely wikipedia
is right on this one) I am sorry to say it’s almost sure to be a re-
release. Why should London Films take off their logo for an
international issue? Or are there any other examples of that?

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. (?)

Different companies! Eagle-Lion was Rank as you correctly say;
but Lion International was part of London Films/British Lion.
It's just that we can't be 100% sure when Lion International
started...

Hi David,
I would presume Lion International was part of Eagle-Lion owned
by J. Arthur Rank. Eagle Lion were founded in 1946.
This is interesting from Wikipedia, especially the last part
“From 1946-1949 Eagle-Lion was under the control of Arthur Krim
who in addition to releasing films by Rank and reissues of David
O. Selznick films”.
Obviously I’m not saying the poster on Bidll is definitely a
reissue/re-release but I think it would be worth checking on more.
