Stronghold Legends Screenshots

Does anyone recognise these screenshots? I've been forwarded a link to a website by @ Average tahiti enjoyer initially speculating this was a mod, but I can find lots of different examples of the exact same screenshot being used on other websites so I'm beginning to wonder if it was released by Firefly instead, possibly as some kind of demo. I couldn't find any download links, at least on that website.

I like this build and think it would be good to have as a mod of some kind.

Using reverse image search I found that many other sites link to the Arthur castle image. 

Above all, here is this one: about the announcement of Stronghold Legends following E3 2006. This news article is, so they are most likely from beta or press-release versions. Clicking on the gallery reveals even more images here.

About the first two thirds of the screenshots seems to have different unit ability models and HUD. Notice how there are less buttons on the HUD (some without outline), and a placeholder unit avatar:

On another image, the Ice Queen's ability indicator is different, as well as the lord ability bears an earlier version of the Arthur summon knights graphic, including a glitter on the ability button:

This glitter was featured for Round Table unit abilities as well:

I don't know where beta versions or 1.0 can be downloaded - I never had a Legends disc -, so whoever still has it comes with great chances at confirming the above. 😄

It must have been a beta version - I just installed 1.0 and it's not the same as above.
