Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two items, other than that seems is from 1951 and seems to have a brighter cover. The date inside the cover of my issue says November 1965 by Gilberton Company and seems to have the coloring of the 2nd item. I'm thinking that's the one I should add to my collection, but I'm not sure.

The HRN numbers are different, as they do new ones when reprinted. yours should say inside what the HRN number is, so then you can choose that one. The color difference is meaningless, it just two different scans with different settings.

HRN is the highest issue number listed on the back of the issue

This doesn't seem to have an HRN number anywhere. The inside cover text that gives the issue, publisher, and copyright doesn't have one, and the rest of that page is just an advertisement to order other issues. The first story page has no footer at all. The back cover, inside and out, are both two more full page ads for Gilberton issues. I guess one inside the front cover wasn't enough.

Wait, are you saying that whatever story is the last listed on the back cover is the HRN number? If that's the case, the back page ad has '167. Faust' as the final title that can be ordered. Is that what you mean?
