I'm enough to confuse anyone, let alone myself, but I've had a look on DVD Compare, the DVD section of the database here and Via Vision's website. Regarding Alfred Hitchcock Presents, there appear to be two featurettes that are on both the US and Australian DVD releases:

"Alfred Hitchcock Presents - A Look Back"
and "Fasten Your Seatbelt - The Thrilling Art of Alfred Hitchcock".

If getting the US DVD releases of the first four seasons saves you some money, I'd do that (I don't think there is any advantage in getting the Australian DVD boxset of the first four seasons, instead of the US releases. Assuming both the US and Australian DVD releases use NTSC masters).

I had a question myself: when watching episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents on UK TV channel Sky Arts, some episodes had the end credits end with the Revue logo and some had no closing logo. Is this the same with the US, UK and Australian DVD releases?
