There are two ASIN ARs on that release; they are obviously choosing 
different ones. There's no guarantee the logic will be the same across 
systems. I've found the server's logic to be rather "sticky"; i.e. once 
cover art is set with one ASIN, difficult to replace it by adding a new 
ASIN.

Additionally it's worth noting that the current Picard plugin always 
pulls US/CA images so if the same ASIN has a different image on a 
different site; or doesn't have an image/listing on US/CA, the Picard 
plugin will fail. The server's logic is more robust in the latter area.
