    My copy is French and has the same reference, same label yet price code is different. There is a box on top right corner of back sleeve reading PL 12030 STEREO REFERENCE RC 250. There is also a small chevron on bottom right (back) just before Printed in . Can't find that entry anywhere
    PL 12030 is also printed on top right corner on front.
