Check out this website for information on different versions of the film (including cover art) - http://www.battleroyalefilm.net/.
It seems to be fairly comprehensive, and there's a forum dedicated completely to the film and all things Battle Royale. According to the site, the cover art for the version you purchased is from the original French DVD which is Region 2 with only French subtitles, and it's the original version of the film (not the "Special Version"). Since the picture you posted says it's the "Director's Cut" at the top, it's definitely a bootleg as has already been mentioned.
Also, if you get a chance, read the original novel, it's fantastic.
