With the picture labels from 1978, there are 3 actual label variations, most easily identified by three aspects of the label. The first is the number of stars shown in the upper right corner. The second is the number of buttons on the bottom middle of the picture. The 3 button version does not have the white part of the button and is more of 3 1/2 buttons versus 4 buttons. The last is whether the man on the left has his vest touching the border or not. We're showing these three sections zoomed in for easier identification.
