Just thought I'd tie all these releases together:

Original issue on Big Beat Records - Big Beat NS64 came in a picture sleeve.
Re-issue on Chiswick Records - CHIS 140. Virtually the same picture sleeve with addition of Chiswick catalog number, Chiswick logo & permissions.
I can't find anything on the "Red vinyl" release but there is an Australian release CHIS-451 (no picture sleeve) that does look like red vinyl on some pictures but is actually a standard black vinyl in a red EMI Records Australia company sleeve.
White label single sided 7" PSR 456 features an edited version of Tomahawk Cruise for radio play.
Single sided test pressing of Tomahawk Cruise with plain blue centre record labels - test pressing of the CHIS 140 release.
