For those of you who have the CV Donkey Kong 16K ROM version, the instruction manual would be either #78214A or #78214B.
The original 24K ROM version would've had version #78214 or #78214A included.
78214 - August to October 1982
78214A - November 1982 to January 1983
78214B - February 1983 to April 1984 (16K ROM version)
Front cover proclaims on both 78214 and 78214A: "Plays, sounds and scores like the DONKEY KONGTM arcade game!"
For 78214B, this is changed to: "Plays like the DONKEY KONGTM arcade game!"
