I finished, you were rigth, I was doing something wrong. Here you have my outcomes.
(If you PM your email address I can send you a xls or csv file that are more friendly and maybe more useful)
Scraped Movies: 220 (all with "USA / International")
Mismatches:
Original Version (1V): 18
2nd Version (2V): 33
3rd Version (3V): 13
Movies with mismatch in only one version: 28
Movies with mismatches in two versions: 9
Movies with mismatches in the 3 versions: 6
Combined mismatches (sum of above): 43
MOVIES WITH MISMATCHES IN THE 3 VERSIONS:
Maybe I am too strict but, in the case of Mesrine, the American version title (or perhaps I am wrong in my definition of the American title) differs slightly, In 2V and 3V they appear as:
Mesrine: Part 1 - Killer Instinct
Mesrine: Part 2 - Public Enemy #1
In other cases as in Tae Guk Gi and Das Experiment it was clear that there is no way to bring the right title from Akas.
In some cases forcing settings to "USA" was useful but as you said, should be coincidence.
IMPROVEMENTS IN 3V versus 1V
WORSE IN 3V THAN 1V
Something Relevant is that the first 2 movies were well matched in V2
BETTER IN 2V than 1V or 3V
MY CONCLUSION:
So, in general, 2V was better in 6 (these four and the 2 mentioned above) titles than 3V. Something tell me that a better outcome can be achieved by combining some parts of 3V with 2V even when 2V was, in absolute terms, the worst. Obviously, no idea of how can this be done.
I thought that 2V was better for non-USA movies, the funny thing is that these 5 movies have "USA" in the country field.
Happy to make more tests or provide more info if I can help.

Sorry but I couldn't resist. 3V "USA / Intl" vs 3V only "USA" has the same number of mismatches (13), 9 of them in common and the others are different. So, you were right, it seems a random variable.
