Sadly all clips from Japan, no? And no Rowan/Martin. :(

Those looked like the NBC version to me. What was the main difference between the two, other than the final round in the Japanese version was a buzz-in round at the Empire State Building, whereas the NBC version was alternating multiple-choice questions somewhere in/near Los Angeles?
I did notice contestant "Mark" apperared to have patches for London, Paris, Rome, and Athens, so maybe there was a Paris round after all.
Kevin Prather:
Watching old episodes of "Super Millionaire" today, I'm reminded of another false memory. I could have sworn that at some point in the run, Regis instructed the computer to "Activate the Double Dip." Must have been a fever dream or something.

At around the :16 point, you see a guy wearing an off-white trenchcoat, and dark-colored hat, and I'm certain that IS Dan Rowan! When the contestant moves away, Dick Martin is seen wearing a similar coat and hat, but has his back toward the camera!

Not sure about Martin, but that's definitely Rowan.
Otm Shank:
Didn't realize this has been dormant this long, but I suppose this thread is one of those bumpable exceptions.
I could swear that the smallest amount on the Money Game board was referred to by Bob as "el cheapo."
Only after seeing it on the Barker channel I now realize he was saying "ol' cheapo."
Even though my hearing has gotten worse over 40 years, at least my technology has compensated for it.
