British "Concentration" games

I saw THREE different versions of the British "Concentration" TV show
First is a card game:

Second is a board game, where it's all about matching prizes:

Finally, a "DE LUXE" version (apparently the first British version to use rebus puzzles):

I have a copy of this and can say the full color rebuses are fantastic. I'm not positive, but I think they were taken directly from Classic Concentration.

I find it interesting that the De Luxe edition kept the American rebus on the cover art. Surely, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" means nothing to the British.
