There is an unfinished pencil version (08.120) at the Royal Asiatic Society, in the Baker Collection. While the BM's images are top and bottom on a portrait page orientation, the RAS version has the images left and right on a landscape page orientation. The RAS version has "Sedewoe No 3" annotated below both images.

There is a copy (WD957 (121)) at the British Library, in the Horsfield Collection. It does not have any annotations nor inscriptions. However, the images have different orientations; the temple entrance is facing upright when in landscape orientation, but sideways when in portrait orientation. The BL database notes that the drawing was done by a Dutch draughtsman, perhaps Jan Knops.
