This tracklist is missing five songs from the Uk Lp which are:

Take it or leave it.   2,47
What You Do.           2,30
I Am Waiting           3,10
Playing the duration of vinyl on stereo  8 track has always been a problem for distribution companies because the songs had to match the duration of the four programs, and each program was about 10 minutes or a few more seconds but never had to exceed 11 minutes.
Sometimes they had to split the song into two segments, part 1 and part 2, to match the tempos of the four programs, in this case, it happened for "Going 'Home" split into two parts, or they reversed the original setlist of the record always for this reason.
So they used the same programming for both the Decca Uk 8 track and the London USA 8 track.
The London USA 8 track has the same tracklist but missing only one song (I Am Waiting)from the original tracklist Lp London USA.
They couldn't use a tape with a longer duration at least for the Decca Lp, that way they would release a similar product to the original Lp.
It's like publishing a book with missing pages.
