On eBay, another “Soccer Kings” with different backglass colours; serial number 118.621.
Being quite an high serial, I don’t think it’s a proto; maybe, Zaccaria did a short production run of backglasses with different colours to meet some distributor’s request, or something similar.
I’m not a soccer expert; by the way, game was released immediately after the 1982 Soccer World Cup, with usual colours appealing to the italian team who won the cup; maybe, the different colours are those of a different team, the team of the country where those games were sold (French? Belgium?)..?
