Is this an alternate or British market cover or something? Both the Lone Wolf and Legends Of Lone Wolf covers looked nothing like this! (in the States)

Hearing the heavy thud of a glass juice bottle as it fell from its perch inside a Veryfine vending machine. My dad and I would get one after a swim at a nearby fitness club when I was about 3-4 years old ("swimming" is used loosely; I was placed in an inner tube harness while he did laps).
