2 C64 Games with same name - only one showing in Search for Metadata

Battle Command is the name of two separate Commodore 64 games in the Games DB (https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/88350 & https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/75281). 

When I use the Search for Metadata button in Launchbox, it only ever returns "[LaunchBox DB] Battle Command (Commodore 64) (1/1/1985)" with a link to Launchbox DB ID #138350 which takes me to https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/88350, or a link to Wikipedia that shows the correct game, however, I want the Launchbox DB link to the other game.

Is there a way to force Launchbox to obtain the other game details or is this an error that needs fixing?

Any assistance appreciated

I've submitted a change to the 1985 one to change the name to Battle Command [1985] as it's the only way to stop same name conflicts.

Please note it can take a few days for it to be approved and depending on when it gets approved it could still be 1-2 days afterwards before LaunchBox picks up the updated database info.
