Rllmuk did not deliver a satisfactory answer. Can YOU help?!

Cuz Kojima?

So it reads the same as the spine.

[Wools]

Never noticed that before, very odd!

Love the PAL artwork.

[Cepp]

Yeah PAL version has the best cover for sure.

[nakamura]

PAL artwork ugh. Too messy.

[Team Andromeda]

Pal cover for me too and it came in the better CD case too

Always liked the JP Integral box art the best, the US box art for the VR missions was also pretty cool (ninja) .

Best bet is to tweet Kojima and see if you get a replay. Short answer it's what the package designer wanted.
