I've got a 1st edition Monster Manual, but it doesn't seem to quite conform to any of the descriptions here Monster Manual or here MM Foreign.

It's got the Easley red dragon versus pegasi cover and the following features:
    Angled TSR logo
    Orange spine
    ISBN ("0-935696-00-8") and Product Number ("394-51113-1TSR1200") stacked above a UPC bar code on the rear cover center - except that the product number is marked as 'ISBN' - "ISBN 394-51113-1TSR1200")
    Piece Code ("2009XXX7301") in the lower left corner
    No price
    Both TSR, Inc and TSR UK Ltd addresses on rear cover above the product number
    Both TSR, Inc and TSR UK Ltd addresses on copyright page
    Copyright page states "4th Edition, August, 1979"

So which printing is this?

sounds like some kind of 7th print. If it's something that's being sold on your site, I wouldn't worry about being too specific on this since I don't think you'll find any buyers that are so picky on these later prints.

btw, just for the site's use, maybe take a photo of the back cover and post. At some later point, I'm sure if it's a different iteration of one of the prints like the 7th, it'll get incorporated into the MM list
