Why is the Union Jack on the numbers on the sleeves?
That is weird.
It took you pointing that out to make me look closer & realise that the colours of the 3 guitars on the 'Italian Rock Invasion' sleeve make up the Italian flag which is a nice little design touch.

Apparently the label took all bands on a "school-trip" to the UK to record their songs in a number of UK studios - see this back sleeve:
One can't help wondering how much this bold career-move paid off in the long run, but here's to Ambition!

Wow, those were big name producers they had involved too.

Would love to know the full back story behind this.
