I am going to say I think I'm right in this case, if I might be so bold...

... The "front cover" that I put up top, and which has spines attached, looks like the front insert for a "fatbox" case, not uncommon for EMI, and always used in fatbox cases, where you have the back cover insert with spines attached, that sits in the back, and the front cover, also with spines which just sits in the front cover... usually, the two sets of spines (4 in total) read opposite to each other as read on the shelf.

In addition, there is a hype print circle lower right of the image, which I cannot imagine being on the back, and I do not believe the plain white barcode and text image would be the front cover.

It is possible (and I find this quite frequently in charity shop finds) that someone has chopped the back spines off what was the back cover, and used in the front of a single CD case, using the front cover as a rear tray insert instead.

Are there perforations along the edges of the barcoded image, whitewhale... where spines ought to be?
