Wow I can't wait to see the banned Legionnaire cover as I love this game!! I hope you can upload a picture of it so we can see. 
Maybe the cover is more like Commando aka Alien Invasion? I'm sure I have not seen it. Of course I would love to see it out of interest so hope it's not offensive to anyone.
I have the big double size cassette box of Space 2 also. I will load it up today on the real iron and check the date. Might be my .tap here on the site but I will check.
If you say there are 2 releases then that would be along the lines of Panic Penguin as that had two releases in different boxes, double & single.
I'm sure any date changes with Anco / Anirog games is because they were in direct contact with Kingsoft and a number of the game devs. Maybe Udo Gertz wanted to do a final polish on his work knowing they were being shipped outside of Germany? I was just glad his works and others from that part of Europe made it over here in the UK. The date would be correct to the year they were released in the UK tho. Bongo was 1986 here, and released before Winter Events.
I had seen a picture in a magazine of Tom Thumb as it was known to us before it released in the UK so it's always been known as that here I'm sure. That picture spoke 1000 words, Ghost Town was released before it and while this was excellent I so wanted to get hold of Tom Thumb! The name makes more scene to be honest, small guy with spiders the same size as him in a big pyramid. The original Rick Dangerous!
EDIT: I have just tested my Pilot X tape on a real C16 and it's the same as the .tap on the site here. Date 1985 and at Found it's called "PILOTX ANCO 16". Blue & Yellow bar turbo loader as well.
