Not really Prog but a famous case of censored cover was Mom's Apple Pie self-titled album. The original cover depicted an apparently innocent farmer woman showing a pie missing a slice and licking her lip. Close inspection though revealed that the inside of the pie clearly resembled female genitalia, and furthermore dripping white juice.

The cover was banned and an alternative was released, in which the missing slice was sealed with bricks and barbed wire, topped with an American flag and two policemen watching from the window.

Concerning Cig Mirage vs Airbrush Mirage.
Pretty much this.

As you can see Twseel, the Dean-ish Nice  foldout coverart which I mention is not shown there.
There are some secrets still kept from search engines.

Ive only seen the one copy here in Canada, but I imagine it was rather common back in the day in England.

No, it wasn't, since it was banned from most of record stores: the Tories found the cover "offending and disgraceful".
Then, all of the original covers were burnt.

The silver foil one with the Beardsly-style drawing is a difficult one to find. I only found a copy finally this year. The same dealer had two copies ,so I have a trade copy now as well.
 
The silverfoil series on Canadian Daffodil label is real collectable in my opinion:
1/ because they are all foil, so its a bit of a challange to find copies with least ringwear
2/ the are unified by having this art-nouveau/Beardsly artwork
3/ at least half in the series are prog/proggish - 2 or 3 Nice titles,Duncan Brown "Give Me ,Take You". I forget the rest. (Small Faces "Ogden's Nut Gone Flake")
 
Daffodil  got the rights from UK Immediate Label to reissue these in the 70s.
