Lendy's co-branding version seems to be blank where resturaunt info was printed and hand-stamped with Lakeside Yoda's (Lendy's) stamp. Implies possible blank back cover variations where co-branding does not exist for some locations or use of "Your Favorite Family Restaurants" instead?

There is a known version which the co-branding is replaced by ads, one known for the Bozo the Clown TV show on a "Channel 8" in issue #183 (Chicago area?).

Elias Brothers variation known to have stopped between issue #374 and 379--any others?

Towards end, back page becomes a menu, possible different franchises may have had different menus. "EL-US" code on back on menu might refer to Elias Brothers menu variant.
