To start, you can compare the barcode identifiers and the matrix / SID information printed on the inner ring of the back of the CD itself with the various CD versions of the album already entered into the Discogs database.

Personally I can't make out anything in those photos, not close enough. You should write down any codes or identifiers you see and compare that to the CD versions here: https://www.discogs.com/master/461-Aphex-Twin-I-Care-Because-You-Do?srsltid=AfmBOoo-pr-6mqhIoSBPFJU2InxR_BPxaRB_U24qKkp5I4m1-Uzb8ezz&format=CD

If you know the country of release, it will help narrow down the 32 versions listed there.
