Amazon always have the regular (painted) cover regardless of the cover scan they show. The UK seller you mentioned differentiate between regular and variant (classic marble) covers by name even if they don't show a scan, so they are a good source if you want to buy the variants.

Thanks, although it is the existence of three versions of the SC editions that I'm finding confusing: Variant (marble), Regular (painted) and silver and black (ie. the SC equivalent of the HC regular edition).
