lockhartgary, no, this is the only Gordy promo I've seen with the bars, which reminds me of the earlier VIP labels. Some had the bars, some didn't, on both commercial and promo release labels.
I appreciate the discussion on this particular release, and we've raised more questions than answers, but that is good. I hope to learn anything I can about this release.

I pulled this image off Ebay for illustration of a VIP WLP with bars:
