For anyone interested, there appears to be 2 states of the 1947 first swedish edition of the hobbit (Hompen).
The spacing between lines at the top of the copyright page is larger in one versus the other. And I can confirm this to be the case as I have both "states" in hand. Never noticed this before.

The person who discovered this has recorded 5 with a spacing of 20mm and 4 with 28mm.
So yours makes it 6 to 4 at the moment.

Many thanks.
Another piece of information from UlfK (the author of the article - link in OP):
"Fiddling around with my copies over the weekend I also noted that the spine has the correct dwarf runes for "HOMPEN", but the runes on the map is not translated to swedish, even though the map is redrawn by Charles Sjöblom."
