There are different polystyrene packaging parts, with slight mould differences to both halves.
And then there are the manuals.

Yes, and the first edition version is actually a little wider and takes up all of the width in the poly base.

And of course there are the foreign language versions. I seem to remember seeing German versions as both ring bound and glued too, but don't quote me on that, I'd have to check.
