Argus / Verita Note labels

This is a question to anyone who has any of the OST's on the Argus label (Japan):

Supposedly there were "first pressings" of these 3 titles that had something different about them than the later pressings - what is it?

Dramma Della Gelosia (Trovaioli) GQCD-10022
Il Commissario Pepe (Trovaioli) GQCD-10024
Kill! (Pisano) GQCD-10028

I bought all of these as "first pressings" and I'm wondering what's the difference between the later pressings? Do all of these editions come in cardboard sleeve with folded color insert?

Interestingly all of these titles are encoded with HDCD but not mentioned anywhere. All except for track 9 on the Dramma CD (???). You can decode HDCD discs on a computer with Windows Media Player and a good sound card.

I assume the Verita Note label also uses HDCD ???
