The sequence is (I think):

Anthology 1, Anthology 2, Anthology 3 -  all black vinyl released (if
memory serves me right) by Samurai

Approved History of Hawkwind  -  Anthology 1,2 and 3 released as pic.
discs using the cover art from the album covers.   They came as a
package in a blue plastic album together with a booklet written by Brian
Tawn.

Anthology 1 and 2 CDs (Anthology 2 contains a mixture of albums 2 and 3)

Acid Daze 1,2, and 3  - a black vinyl re-release of Anthology 1,2 and 3
with different album sleeves.

Acid Daze box set - Acid Daze 1,2 and 3 black vinyl albums released as a
box set together with a reissue of Brian Tawn's booklet

Acid Daze double CD containing all the tracks from Acid Daze 1,2 and 3

Anthology 1,2 and 3 pic discs released separately without the blue
plastic album or the booklet.

Anthology 1,2 and 3 CDs now released with all the tracks from each
original album.

I think that's the lot   8-)
