Might be easier if there was a list to work from, this straight off Wiki:
Feature films
These are the known, theatrically released, feature-length films produced or co-produced by Hammer Studios. Shorter works and television productions are listed separately. When two titles are shown for a single film, the first title is that as released in the UK, the second in the US. During its original incarnation (1935−1979), Hammer released 163 films; 50 of which fall loosely under the Horror genre (including Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, Karnstein, Gothic, Psychological and straight Horror).
It depends on who you talk to, I don't think anyone really knows...
I go with the theory, the staking of Babs bottom of the poster was deemed a bit much for the U.K. so they changed it to the other version.
Another they had put 20th Century fox on, who distributed it in the States, and it was Warner-Pathe in the U.K. Now they are saying the Fox version was for use in the commonwealth, but the Warner version has No Cert on it either as it was also to be used in the commonwealth. The fact that there are hardly any of these about, says to me that is wrong, and I go with the first theory...
Both as you see have no U.K. Certification, and you may not see it, but bottom right on the credits, the scarce version says 20th Century Fox, and the one above says Warner-Pathe... And the obvious change is the pic at the bottom...
To be honest, I've only ever seen two of the scarce type, and the 58 original I've seen maybe 10-12, go figure...
