This variation also has "SIRE" printed directly underneath the SIRE logo, as opposed to this variation (to the side of the logo):

Last but not least there is no text on the outer rim of the labels on either side labels.

Copy in-hand did not have the printed inner sleeve, but instead has a thin, plastic inner sleeve like many of the pressings in the 1980s. That's doesn't mean that others might have included the printed inner sleeve.

"SLM △" in the runout grooves indicates Sheffield Lab Matrix made metal parts used to manufacture this record.
