I did see the shots you upped to The Zone & they looked like ones I'd seen in a preview/WIP in The One. Issue 42 March 1992. (No scanner to scan it unfortunately!). It too has these screenshots though no exact mention if their SNES or Amiga shots.
In that same interview with the programmers though, they DID make mention of an earlier version of the Addams Family.
Design work started in April 1991 but as the game was starting to take shape they were taken off to do the Super Famicom console version.
This was finished in Nov. 1991, & the team went back to the computer versions. Due to changes etc. in game design,they scrapped the originally planned version & made the Amiga game based on the SNES version.

Interestingly,the programmer made comments about the old source code,(the pre-SNES version),"Not being colourful enough, there was no parallax scrolling,& the game felt slower because we had to move down from 60 frames a second to 50. Basically we'd got so used to how the Famicom version played that we didn't want to go back".
