This UK 3rd press version lists the A side as having the Sex Mix (on both sleeve and label) while in fact it has the U.S. Mix with the duration of 7:20. 
This version can be identified by the stamped matrix 12 ZTAS 1 A - 4U on the A-side. Note that the last digits on each matrix number are very faintly pressed. Variants examples are listed in the 'identifier' section below.

Track B1 is listed on sleeve as Ferry Across The Mersey.

This UK 3rd press version was issued in the following sleeves: 
• Two Bodies sleeve with Island logo on back of sleeve (this entry here);
• Two Bodies sleeve without Island logo on back of sleeve;
• Who Chance Blink ZTT sleeve;
• Die-cut black matte sleeve with trimmed corners.
• U.S. Chequer board sleeve (these were shipped back from the U.S.A.).

Some Two Bodies artwork copies came with a sticker on sleeve, "SPECIAL U.S. REMIX 12 ZTAS 1".
Durations do not appear on the release.

In side A, var.9, the last two digits are a very faint imprint of a 2-digit numeral that is hardly readable.
In side B, var.5, the stamped section comes as 12 ZTAS-1B-3U-1- 3⇀ '2' [Inverted and a reversed '1'
