Ok, this might help.

 

Direct Market price box designs:

 

Feb 1977-about Mar 1979 = Large diamonds, occasional small diamond

 

May 1979 (some)-Sep 1982 = small diamonds

 

Oct 1982 - Mar 1987 = stylized "M"

 

Apr 1987 - 1993 square box with UK price for Direct and Curtis Circulation code for newsstand (with some exceptions, ie PWJ #6.)

 

1993 - UPC codes become standard on all comics distributed both ways, with the words "Direct Edition" in the code box to designate DM copies.

 

Thanks for the info.
