Uriah Heep - ...Very 'Eavy...Very 'Umble
Yes, quite possible/probable, but we'll probably never know for sure unless someone can turn up a release sheet, or get access to Universal Music NZ's files. All that can be said at the moment is that the Phonogram Ltd. name makes it no earlier than 9 November 1972.

Uriah Heep - ...Very 'Eavy...Very 'Umble
I believe that the info in Discogs is reliable, as it appears to have come directly from the NZ company registry, which I have just looked at myself, and the following appears under the now-defunct company Universal Music Limited:

UNIVERSAL MUSIC LIMITED (14087) Removed

POLYGRAM RECORDS LIMITED (from 01 Nov 1978 to 24 Nov 1999)
PHONOGRAM LIMITED (from 09 Nov 1972 to 01 Nov 1978)
POLYGRAM RECORDS LIMITED (from 25 Jun 1970 to 09 Nov 1972)
PHILLIPS RECORDS (N.Z.) LIMITED (from 14 May 1963 to 25 Jun 1970)
INTERNATIONAL PHONOGRAPHIC SOCIETY N.Z LIMITED (from 11 Dec 1961 to 14 May 1963)
Last updated on 03 Nov 2013

It's possible, indeed probable, that some of those "1972" NZ issues in Discogs showing Phonogram Limited fall into one of these possible categories:
(1) Represses/reprints of albums that were originally issued by the 1970-1972 iteration of PolyGram Records Limited;
(2) the usual discographical headache of assuming that the phonographic copyright (P) year is the release year - not necessarily the case, as that (P) year is set in the country where the recording is first issued, and other countries might issue it later, and also that (P) year should not change on represses and reissues.

Uriah Heep - ...Very 'Eavy...Very 'Umble
Probably a bit later than September 1972 - Discogs tells me that the Phonogram Ltd. company name was active in New Zealand from 9 November 1972 to 31 October 1978, before that the NZ company name was PolyGram Records Limited, which most likely explains the PolyGram reference on the labels, in that older label stock was still being used. Discogs doesn't have a date for this version of the LP.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells II
Hi Whassup, I don't think this release is just for Germany, as shown by the price code for France, and the Discogs entry, which says Europe, shows that it has the additional catalogue number WX 2002, which was for UK use. There doesn't appear to have been an LP release in Australia (only CD & cassette), so there's not enough information to make this International, but Europe-wide would be a fairly safe bet at the moment.

The Stooges - Fun House
Agreed, Lee - another reason why this is not 1977 is because the company name WEA Records Pty. Limited started appearing on covers and labels in 1973, and the labels here don't have that; I think the cover here is actually from a later French issue, as it looks like it has the French company name WEA Fillipacchi Music, with the Saul Bass designed [W] Warner Communications logo which came into use in1974, plus the European catalogue number 42 055 in the top right, so definitely a mismatch of cover and record.
