Greetings. I think I've found an interesting case of album art plagiarism. Look at the skulls that are on the front cover of Pequeñas Anécdotas Sobre Las Instituciones by Sui Generis (1974). These are the same skulls as the ones on the Skull Snaps self titled album (1973) cover!

Similar but not quite the same, maybe they were done by the same person?

Definitely not the same. The shape and form is different, as is which skulls overlap the others.
I suspect this is not even a case of influence (let alone plagiarism), so much as coincidence. If influence comes into it at all, it’s likely a shared influence both have drawn on, to end up with similar imagery. But it’s not even that similar to me, apart from being three skulls facing towards each other. 🤷🏻‍♂️
