I think my Hotrod is the Non target master metal toes version (non booktype small as box). I seem to recall that the original released Hotrod was sorta Magenta red in hue as well not the Red or Dark red (in the case of my figure) and the yellow spoiler was more brighter. I could be wrong, as this is only based on my memory when I was a kid seeing/playing with my neighbors figure compared to what I have now in my collection.
With my version - the stamping and details inside are the same as that of the second set of pics you posted there Gok.
