The Japan LD's are spread out over 2 discs as well.  The 1st pressing is the Silver Box like the Widescreen VHS Box.  The 2nd pressing sports the new artwork and drops the Special Edition moniker.

 

PAL ANH and ESB are on one disc (about 1 hour per side). ROTJ is on 2.

EDIT: My bad, by one disc, I mean a disc each! They'd have to do a 200% speed-up to fit both films on one disc, which would be amusing but very impractical!

The PAL set is in a silver box too, similar if not the same to the first pressing of the Japanese set. I saw a Japanese silver-box set on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and noticed is had the 5.1 AC3 audio, which the PAL laserdiscs don't have. Does the Japanese set you have also have the 5.1 AC3 too?
