Your friend got the UK mix on LP, like me.  It was actually released here
(UK) first, in December '85, wasn't it?  But it was still after the tour...
 Anyway, a few weeks afterwards I remember seeing a divider in Virgin
labelled "Club Ninja - US mix".  But I wasn't *that* extravagant - buy a
high-priced import copy just for a different mix?  Pshaw! :)

I got a CD copy in late '87 (hey, it was the eighties, by then I was into
conspicuous consumption, and anyway you couldn't actually *get* much BOC on
CD then), and although it was a UK release (although manufactured somewhere
on the continent), blow me if it wasn't different to my vinyl!  Although I
never noticed a difference on "White Flags" - which isn't to say there isn't
one :) - the two striking differences were the Howard Stern bit on "Whe the
War Comes", and that "Madness to the Method" *didn't* fade out.

Anyway "Shadow Warrior" is dead good!  There, I've nailed my colours to the
mast :)
