I have this version with the push-out centre but with different matrix/runouts on each side. The are similar to the UK 7"listed with the solid centre but with a couple of small changes - all hand etched and slightly different catalogue numbers:
Matrix / Runout (Side A, hand-etched): RT 191 A2
Matrix / Runout (Side A, hand-etched): ARTY BLOODY FARTY
Matrix / Runout (Side A, hand-etched): MPO
Matrix / Runout (Side B, hand-etched): RT 191 B2
Matrix / Runout (Side B, hand-etched): “IS THAT CLEVER” JM
Matrix / Runout (Side B, hand-etched): MPO -
