Here are a couple HW 137 KUs with very slight differences.

The one on the right is slightly bigger, and the one I will again assume is the oldest

The mouth, chin, and nose detail differences are slight, but show them to be a different master carving source. It's a little easier to see the differences in person than it is in the pictures.

The tag on the older one has a different wording:

The other tag:

Once again, the larger one has no copyright date, and it has a large hand inscribed catalog number on the bottom

Copyright 79 and a smaller catalog number on the newer one:

And finally, a picture from ebay of an even newer version with the green tag, and the same wording as the `second tag above. It has a little darker color too.

There will always be more...
