Here's an Australian-market Dr. Bashir in duty uniform on the debut release card. The front features an equipment tray different from both other versions, the debut release and the second release. As you can see the combadge is on the bottom, the other equipment is at the top, and there is no pog or card period. The back of this card is pretty interesting as well: O'Brien, Dax and Bashir in TNG uniforms were the only three characters tacked on to the first DS9 release for Australia, perhaps because the second release was already in production when the debut release was ready for Australia. So essentially the debut release in Australia had three additional figures, and they had neither pogs nor cards.

It would have been cool if the Australian release had one or two completely random figures not offered in any other country, like a generic Bajoran General or Keiko. In other markets there would be like no mention of it or explanation -- just nothing.

The Bashir in duty uniform on a US card I think was the second figure I ever bought, back in 1994, and at the time I could not figure out why there was a whole line of DS9 figures in TNG uniforms. The debut line in DS9 jumpsuits was out at this time, but for whatever reason Bashir in DS9 uniform was the chase figure, and to some degree Dukat was as well, so there was zero chance of finding him in DS9 uniform. I remember he was going for $30.00 at collectibles shops, if he was available at all.
