During a shoot the photographer might, in may cases, have the girls change something as insignificant as their socks. It might have a subtle effect on the overall look of the photograph, then it might not. These two were obviously shot on the same day but they did change the socks and Julia's position on bed the slightly and the angle of her head and the sweep of her hair. It virtually takes all day to shoot one centerfold but they use a different technique for that. This pic was never intended for the foldout because of the way it is laid out, but was surely going to be part of the of her profile. In this case the photographer was probably using a 35MM Single reflex with a motor drive - you've seen this kind of shoot portrayed so many times in the movies "oh yes - you look great move - move your head just a little - great baby" It's rapid fire and in the end they end up with hundreds of slides that end up in the vaults after they pick one or two from this session for the magazine. When the cyber club gets access to the portfolio, they may choose a picture that is very similar like the ones above. Actually during this kind of shoot the photographers, especially the guys working for PB, are a lot more professional than that little scenario but nonetheless the session moves very quickly.
On a centerfold shoot things move at a snail's pace with the model holding a single pose for a very long period of time with very subtle moves to improve or change the image slightly. The photographer will use a Hasselblad with a Polaroid back attached to get a test shot. Once everyone is in agreement on the pose they'll load up the large format camera 8 X 10 film for the final shots of which they might take only a few compared to the 35mm shoot. If you notice no matter what source you go to you'll find very little difference on the centerfold although there are exceptions to the rule.
PB has moved into the digital age and now shoot centerfold with a large format digital cameras instead of film but for this time frame they had probably used Kodachrome Professional for the slide and of course a very specialized Kodak film for the centerfold.
One more thing, I would believe that PB has scanned all of the slides in their vaults for easier access and that's what the Cyber Club gets to use and the original are stored away for safe keeping.
