Camelot daybill
OK you experts, who knows about the Camelot variations. The version on the left is the nicest to my eyes, the one in the middle seems to be a re-release.0

Both the images on the left and the right are from the Australian first release In 1967. The Sydney release was on 2!st of December, 1967. The censorship ratings and the Warner Bros. - Seven Arts being on the two posters confirms this. Warner Bros. - Seven Arts only operated from 1967 to 1970. It would be hard to establish which design came first but both were definitely printed for the run of the first release.
The one in the centre due to the new 1971 G classification plus M.A.P. S. being the printer dates it as a post 1971 re-release.
The one in the centre would tie in with the 1973 U.S. re-release.
Interestingly Bruce has 12 images of the daybill with the red Camelot wording on the right and not a one of the yellow Camelot wording on the left. This leads me to think the one on the left, as John suggests, was printed for the first release in 21 / 12 / 1967 and I believe as the film proved popluar and stocks ran low the daybill on the right was printed to replace it sometime between 1968 and 1970.
