The Bright Stuff

We've been spoilt for choice on fleabay of late what with Tarheel Space Gliders, a Knockoff Tarheel Moon Ranger, Moon Prospectors, LP astronauts to mention a few. Two boxed US Multiple Toymakers Golden Astronaut Sets caught my eye too. Above we have the Moon Exploration Set with its beautiful lunar backing card, which looks like a canvas painting! I've got the UK Spacex Moon Base but none of the US sets. Anyone got this or any variations of it?

 
Secondly we have a lovely boxed Interplanetary Patrol set with a cool Nuclear Pulse at its centre. This time the backing card pictures Earth. Interestingly the set appears to come with a Japanese instruction sheet. Has anyone got a sheet like this? Where these put for the Japanese market do you think?

Yes, I have a set like that with the same instructions in Japanese, which the US seller had brought back from Japan. Which other market would they be destined for if not Japan do you think? :)
