On Pat's site there is only one 25A-B2-1B box listed, however I have two variants. One with much sharper picture and different font for the number 25. The fonts on the endflaps are also different.

Hi there,

Only B1, B2 and B3 for the 25a. No B4 for number 25, B5 for 25b VW only.

gpwcollector, looks like tow different B2 boxes to me. I have only the B1 for this model, so I'm afraid I have nothing to compare...

Cheers,
Gavin

Looking at the picture of the front of the boxes, the upper box was printed by Pembroke Abbey and if it has any trademarks it should have the Abbey (or castle) type trademark, The lower box was printed in south London by Bowater Scott and it may have the bow & arrow trademark.
There are basically two types of each box, Bowater Scott tends to print the clearer illustrations, Pembroke Abbey illustrations are rougher and more sketch like, They also used different fonts for the endflap numbers.
