I know it's not unusual, but the why is not always clear
Don't know the answers to the overall question because there would be multiple answers but I believe I have the answer to The Big Top daybill posters. The W.E Smith poster is the original daybill poster printed for the 1940's Australian release.
The Gilprint daybill poster is from the 1956 Australian re-release and has just been copied almost exactly the same, from the original W.E. Smith poster.
I believe he third duotone poster would have been a second printing for the 1956 re-release.
I am holding back some further information just in case I receive any flack over my opinion so I can produce it then.
