I bought both books for that same reason.

The pages look complete (including page numbering), but there are only 2
strips on a page in stead of 3. Maybe there was something else filling the
space in the original?

Why not? It's this kind of extra stuff that makes "definitive" editions
(extra) interesting to me. Like the Carl Barks Library, which is mainly
interesting because of all the extra material in it!

No, I don't. I understood that I had to pay a considerable amount of extra
money for that, and I thought the poster was not in scale with the money.
