'56 Continental Mk II kits - Premier and ITC question... were they the same?

Okay, I had them blended together, but checked mine today in a partial workshop cleanup (there's always something new with ADD) and I have the ITC Connie Mk. II with prominent Ideal branding on the chassis. 1/20 scale, pondering the sacrilege of slamming it on some '20s....

Then I go to the web and there is a Premier Connie Mk. II, and another modeler posted side panel box art with the brand indicated.

Not that this is a big surprise, but I'm confused as can be.

Were there TWO 1/20 Connies? Was one a rebranded or repackaged version of the other?

BTW, if someone tripped over that tool in the warehouse, it sure would be cool to see it again. The old guys got the cha-cha-cha of the shape down just right. Really looks and feels right! Thankful to have jumped on Don's accessory parts when they were available, even if the bill did earn the stinkeye from Mrs. Ragtop.
