I have a physical British release of "Call of Duty 2 - Game of the Year," however, there's one in the database that exists already:
https://vgcollect.com/item/98618
and it is an EU non-UK release, since this existing release has PEGI ratings on it's cover art, while the one I have has a BBFC 15 age rating on the art. The description for the existing one also says "NOT FOR SUPPLY IN THE UK."
I would like to add my release to the database, but I'm not sure how to handle it, since UK releases don't need to be labeled as such according to the style guide and this existing one has no label, but isn't a UK release. The best information I could find about the potential country of this existing release is it being from Netherlands, according to some images from MobyGames:

https://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/call-of-duty-2-game-of-the-year-edition/cover-art/gameCoverId,244515.
These images seem to match the ones on the existing release, making me believe it is from the Netherlands as listed on those images, however, there's not much info on the country other than what was contributed with these images, so it could be another country too, but I'm fairly sure it is non-UK at least due to reasons listed prior.
The barcode and item numbers on my copy are also different from this existing one, but besides the barcode, item numbers and the age rating listed, the art is largely the same from what I can gather, with minor differences in regards of positioning of elements on the disc art. The disc of my copy has a BBFC rating, placed on the right, rather than left compared to this release.
