HELP ID'ing German print of Oracle of Seasons

Using my Oracle of Ages Spanish copy for comparison. Images found on the reddit post I uploaded linked below.

I believe it's one of the later german prints done in 2003, as it’s when the USK has registered that they started using their logo. It’s also (from what I know) when on the back of the German copies they started writting “Tm and r are trademarks of Nintendo”, instead “Tm and r are trademarks of Nintendo Co, LT” as it appears on my Spanish Oracle of Ages print.

Some other differences is that it has a more purplish tone on the Gameboy logo than the other Pal prints, and the lenguages stated on the front image are separated with dots, instead of the languages being separated without any dots between them.

Aditionally, from the new other copies of this print I’ve seen, the red stripe is a bit wavy, I don’t know if it is when they started using it.

Some insight on this exact print would be highly appreciated, as the LaunchBox Database is one of the few places in which I've seen this print documented. I’m quite sure it’s legit as I’ve also taken it to a local game shop owner to whom I usually take my games to verify, but any info from this community would be very helpful aswell, or if anybody has it the same print I'd love to know!. Thank you so much in advance!
