I don't think it's for the "modern" reader.

The paperback version I own is from 1965, and its Chapter 6 is "The Levantine"

Mine is from "Berkley Medallion". But in the cover page, it lists the first edition in 1962, but then a new edition in 1965 (as opposed to just another printing). So maybe '65 is when the sanitized version appeared?

edit:

Indeed, looking up my other Tey books, I have The Daughter of Time from the same publisher.

It lists all the printings of it back from '71 back to '59. But there was also a "New Edition" of it in 1970. So I guess it was sanitized as well (of what, I wish I knew).
