Do they actually have their own stories for the 1st three seasons that were pretty close to the US version (in which case, what point of the separate runnings?)

I'm a bit confused here...
Very quickly.... the "UK run" relates to the comics only (US vs UK). The comics are completely different and incompatible with the cartoon series.

As for the cartoon, Japan dubbed the first three G1 series into Japanese, and then replaced Rebirth with a full series called Headmasters [which is incompatible with Rebirth] but otherwise continues on with only minor discrepencies (a couple of bots who died in the movie are still around because Japan didn't see the movie until a few years later) and the animation is very similar (less Anime than the following series like Masterforce and Victory).
