Perhaps the U$-version was flipped because they wanted to put that 
little white box with Donald in it. If it hadn´t been flipped, it would 
have concealed Donald somewhat.

BTW, I like the U$ coloring better, same deal with that "Son of the Sun" 
cover... colorists seemed to completely different ideas about should be 
depicted as gold in the latter. I think the U$ colorist looks much more 
believable.
