The Bad and The Beautiful rating is For General Exhibition so must be a re-release.
My take on this is that the original The Bad And The Beautiful film, which was released in Australia in 1953. had the original daybill altered for usage in the 1987 film The Year My Voice Broke. The two added images appearing below show four daybill posters that also include The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The World Of Susie Wong which were released in Australia in 1961. Perhaps the makers only had the three early 1960's daybills at their disposal, so they decided to alter The Bad and The Beautiful daybill to make it look like is was from that period of time.
The Teenage Runaway title has been overprinted or most likely a snipe has been attached over The Bad and The Beautiful title. The red and white credit section of The Bad And The Beautiful can be seen on the below full image under the Teenage Runaway section. The original 'Not suitable for general exhibition' censorship rating was changed also apparently to suit the theme of the new titled film. Finally their wasn't a film titled Teenage Runaway released in the 1960s, or from memoery any teenagers featured in the film.
Last Of The Fast Guns ( 1958 ) Australian later printed daybill where obviously the Australian poster artist hadn't seen the original poster images, and just used his imagination to create the image depicted on the above daybill. Is it just me thinking that the image looks like a well known actor who doesn't appear in this film.
Original daybill and Jock Mahoney seen above as he appeared in the film.
New Zealand film poster of Dracula Prince Of Darkness (1966 ) prinrted without the title of the film appearing on the poster, along with an Australian daybill of the film..
The above Australian daybill of Last Of The Fast Guns ( 1958 ), features the image of a cowboy who resembles a young Lee Van Cleef to me. but certainly not remotely resembling Jock Mahoney. Lee Van Cleef appears above in a publicity pose for The Badge of Marshal Brennan ( 1957 ).

Boxcar Bertha is set in the Great Depression, and both posters are late 1940s re-releases.

Correct and well spotted. I imagine that you have handled a few of these posters over the years Bruce? Drums ( aka The Drum originally from 1938 and the Man Who Could Work Miracles from 1936. Both films were produced by Alexander Korda.
Boxcar Bertha ( 1972 ). Early Martin Scorsese film.
The Card ( 1952 ) original Australian daybill. The main image used on this 1953 released poster of Alec Guinness was altered slightly for its appearance on the late 1950s Australian re-release daybill of the 1949 film Kind Hearts and Coronets .
It appears no material for Kind Hearts and Coronets was available for BEF to use for the re-release, so they just altered the Alec Guinness image from the earlier poster for The Card and worked the film's credits around that..

Let's not forget this one. Of the three images posted, I had thought this one was the most obvious.

The Blonde Captive ( 1931 ). How about this one then?
One of the small advertising sections has Blond spelling and not the correct Blonde spelling appearing on it. I had thought this one wasso obvious.
There is certainly something out of place here that appears in both images of Boxcar Bertha ( 1972 ). Any thoughts?

Kind Hearts And Coronets ( 1949 ). Australian late 1950s re-release daybill poster. What is inaccurate with this poster design ?
Correct and good one Dede.
