The US/Canadian releases & Region B StudioCanal Collection releases each have exclusive extras. Note the 2022 Criterion reissue has a newer transfer but loses the re-issue trailer.
Note that the "Code Name: Melville" documentary on the Region B releases can be found on the Region A Criterion release of Le silence de la mer.
The German and UK Melville boxsets lose some extras from the standalone StudioCanal Collection releases, though it has some additional extras on the other discs.
The identical French 4K + Blu-ray, German Remastered, and UK Vintage World Cinema have a 4K restoration transfer with a new documentary, but loses some of the extras from the previous Studio Canal releases.
