It's nice that Matt, I'm not sure there's any difference in decals though, I maybe wrong.

Mine's an '84 - UK model but I got US decals on mine from that guy BMXProducts in the States.

Interesting read that.

I have been having a good look at my frame and I am gonna stick my neck out here and say that they are the original decals on it. The one above the BB has faded and the "Supergoose" one looks like it has been put on with a that will do attitude.

The drop-outs and the genral condition of the frame is saying to me that its all original.

Anyone else got a "UK" Supergoose?

My under standing is that the UK super, the all tubes Cali / expert frames are the same, its the forks and kit spec that changes the model

As is well documented the us spec mk 3 has the over sized tubing

[eloopnai]

was a while ago when i was looking into this when i had mine
 im sure it was the same dimensions as the expert if my memory serves me right 
and kdw712 yep the forks and kit spec was the difference in it being a super i recall too

lovely lookin frameset that you got there bigdog 

[thebigdog]

Haha, now I am lost again.

I am 99% sure that they are the original decals on my frame...... That combined with what I read in the link posted above says UK Supergoose to me

in short most likely yes 

the uk spec gussetless super goose was a different frame to the US spec one
essentially we got a all tubes frame which was the same as the the all tubes cali/expert frame
ie skinny back end and same diameter tubing for the main frame

as with a lot of things mongoose theres huge fuzzy grey areas in specs and production

Whatever it is........ Its now in the Trades section
