I've had a few of both copies in the past. I can't remember any run out details as I don't have a copy now. One, which I've always taken as the original, is a deeper red colour label and the vinyl is thicker than the other one. I've known about the two different copies since the 80s. How it sold in the US would not necessarily have been a factor in whether it was bootlegged or not, if it was popular on the UK soul scene (and it was at Cleethorpes) someone would have seen an opportunity.
