I think it's likely the language change was done between series two and three.

So series 2 would have "the scores" while series 3 would have "your scores"(Just a guess, it could be the other way around.

The cropping difference is probably on both series.

That leaves the third version for each as the mystery prize

I believe there is probably some small difference, maybe a very small one between two positions of whichever is more common - full B or partial B.
If it's a very tiny cropping difference, it may not show since the registration of the black can change how the cropping appears.
If you look at Als cards you can see that in the three full B cards. The triangle of sky at the upper left changes size, and the amount of the B that's visible also changes. That's probably the registration rather than the cropping.

I think each card in any of the 88 card series will have three versions. (Technically this is already a fact) But most will be nearly undetectable.

For 68 the key may be the burlap like border. If it was done by putting the card images onto a full background there may be an identifiable difference in the grain.
