I did a quick Google, and found a picture of a white Tamla promo of T-54181, and the DM number seems to indicate that this is the same mix as the commercial version:- DM-N-S-N 573M07 - mixed by Norman Whitfield, so it's not that one.
All other images of the commercial label have the same DM number, and DFTMC doesn't list an alternate pressing, and I don't recall Reg Bartlette's book listing two pressings either, so I can only assume they got the wrong mix for 'TCMS' & 'The Master'.
I did initially think that it could have been the Mono L.P mix, but according to DFTMC, M.P.G. was only issued in stereo.
