A variety of fonts, across both labels, of non-template text elements.
Presumably a label 'crossover' of sorts as the side 1 label is the same as AUEP70044YBB.f while the side 2 label is the same as AUEP70044YBB.h. Having said that, the 'narrow' pressing ring suggests it may be more recent than AUEP70044YBB.h, so side 1 may be a reversion to older, existing label stock

GENERAL EP INFORMATION
SILVER/BLACK - STYLE 'C' - EMI MUSIC GROUP - AUSTRALASIA
While released over a period of some eight months, Help!, Norwegian Wood and Penny Lane actually all originated on the same day, 22 September 1967. All three EPs were passed for press on 26 September 1967, and all three were mastered from tape on 4 October 1967. This approach of 'loading up releases' was not that uncommon with EMI (Australia), indeed, the two Greatest Hits volumes were created in much the same fashion.
For this release, EMI (Australia) adapted the front cover art from the US Yesterday... And Today LP. The selected tracks had all previously been released as singles. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the EP did not trouble the chart compilers in any state.
The EP remained in print until December 1978. In June 1979, it, along with all unique-to-Australia 70000-series Beatles EPs, were recut and reissued with updated artwork. For the recut, EMI (Australia) went back to the original mono EP tape, meaning this is one of the few reissued EPs that play in true mono, rather than stereo, or folddown. This reissue first appeared in September 1979.
