I do believe the international version (with the "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" title card) was released on VHS in the UK sometime in the 90's before it appeared on the R1 Sony DVD, or on the Sci-Fi channel.
What I'd like to know is if this version was released in the UK BEFORE the video release (either to TV, or theatrically). If so, that would have been the first time anyone had seen/heard this version (and dub...which for the record, is god awful).
