The b-version from 1976 has the last title 'De hellebron' at the back.
The a-version from 1976 has the last title 'The river god' at the back.
The title page is also different!
Here is a clear difference.
In this version, the year information on the back is completely absent.
You may have a point here.

Then I would designate version D as a duplication of C and mention at C that when the album was made the bottom was cut off a bit short and the text could be partially or completely omitted.

Can an error in the printing company lead to a different version?
At b just mention that when making some albums the bottom is cut off a bit short and the text can disappear partially or completely.

The c and d versions are indeed duplicates. We include a version of each print, but not every miscut cover of the same print. I have now merged the c and d variants with the b version.

This is also a separate #33310

I found out a few days ago, bought album ttv release, cutting error did not really notice.
Because 1 of the sellers has an album with photos without cutting errors, I could see that a tiny piece of the illustration is missing on the right, but at the bottom of my copy I have more of Laureline's beautiful leg. You can also tell by the stripes on the briefcase. It may well be that the catalog copy ever entered is the same as mine.
All details for an inexpensive album, but if something like that played on a Tintin HC from the 40s/50s/60s, it was "a variant".
