I think the cropping is different from both of the "regular" issues. This one has more sky between Mickey's hat and the top of the photo plus it shows more stripes on his left shoulder. As for the regular issues, the '64 seems to be a little more close-up than the '62.

I think it's more of a mock-up to show how the '64 issues will look. They then decided to change the picture on the front. Providing it's an authentic Sports Champions mock-up of course.
