I (sorta) understand the difference in US vs UK names. And I (do) understand the need for different names when translated from one culture to another.

But other than a Omnibus (bundle) name. I too, would be suspicious of name changes without substantial body changes (and I abhor the practice of re-releases with just a added teaser chapter or updated Ad card and calling it new/updated )

A number of dead tree books in my collection had notes on the copyright page along the lines of:
'A serialized version appeared in the 19xx jun-Aug editions of Analog'
'Revised and expanded version of "my short story title" ', (and the one a number of us like): Authors cut edition
