Wild Safari Cobra is not one but three!!!

Thanks to Paige's observation about the white cobra having a different mould from the "original" Safari cobra. I got curious to know if the cobra sculpt was updated at a certain point and apparently it happened.
It is common some Safari models getting a new sculpt with the same product number and sometimes, one of the versions, gets unnoticed and it seems to be the case here because it was not mentioned on Toy Animal Wiki.
I am assuming there are these two versions even if I can't find a catalogue where it is presented as a new model.Checking on EBAY, it seemed the 2nd version had a tag with the year 2006 but I can find the old one picture up to the 2008 catalogue and the newer one on 2010 catalogue. 2009 catalogue is not known so I suspect it is the year this figure was replaced.
Picture on TAW shows the early model and I would love to know if someone has the newer one to provide a picture of it and also to tell which year is marked on it. Meanwhile I opened a link on TAW to avoid this model from get forgotten again.

Thanks Susanne, you have two variations of the first one. Different painting, an important update. What I really want to point out with this topic is the fact the second model was ignored for many of us, I believe we thought it was the same as the first model. So, who buys a Wild Safari cobra in a shop will get the 2nd model.
