After doing a bit of digging on Discogs it seems that no truly "1st run pressing" mono edition has turned up with the toilet visible on the cover?
I found this: https://www.discogs.com/release/10368014-The-Mamas-And-The-Papas-If-You-Can-Believe-Your-Eyes-And-Ears
Which appears to be a reissue because of the "ABC Records, Inc." credit on the labels, as ABC Records was established in the late months of 1966/1967 at the absolute earliest.
Added cleaner back cover image with no Gold Record Award stamp. Also added third label variant pressed by Monarch Records. The deltas for this are:
Side One Δ 8792
Side Two Δ 8792-X.
Because Dunhill started out "dist. by A.B.C.-Paramount," {Images #983339 & 983340} should therefore precede the "A Subsidiary of A.B.C.-Paramount..." {Images #500911 & 500912} in sequential order.
{Images #500911 & 500912} also bears label typesetting from Columbia Records' Pitman, NJ plant (though if the 1.25" diameter pressing ring is of any indication, they would have farmed this particular pressing out to MGM Records' Bloomfield, NJ plant - would their blocky stamped 'S' have been within the deadwax?). The matrix numbers - 114573 and 114574 - are Columbia-derived, with only the XLP prefix missing.
Added label images for this record fmc. I believe this is an early reissue label because the paper stock is flat and not shiny like originals. The language on the rim is different from originals.
