I can happily report that my U&WA is a match for the variant 1st print picture you posted months ago.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Paul decided not to verify this when I raised the query, before, although I've been told that he's had the nod from Gary Gygax on the issue.

Does that match up similiarly with what you have David?
Other way around, although my earlier 1st print M&T tallies with that.
Hrmm... D'you have precise measurements to the nearest millimetre or two? (Covers and/or internal page size).
For now, all I can say is that even allowing for guillotining differences, I'm still fairly sure there's a consistency to the extent that the Lake Geneva printings are
both cut "larger" than any of the other printings.
=> not possible to insert the missing pages from elsewhere.
(And yes, that did impact my bidding, even though I was mostly bidding "for spares" and research, anyhow).
The differences between the volumes is certainly nowhere as noticeable in the other, non-Lake Geneva prints.
(current list = early 1st, late/"variant" 1st, 2nd, 3rd (+ later variant, probably identical otherwise), 4th (early variant is identical otherwise), 5thB, 6thA, 6thB, 6thC. Am missing Deimos's 5thA).
