I can verify the first half -- throughout the mid-90s, whenever someone would buy games from NOA's employee store (Fun & Games), the clerk would slap one of these stickers on to the box. They usually had a giant spindle of such stickers at the counter which they would peel off and attach to the front of games, mostly to discourage employees and other buyers from reselling them (as they were usually bought at a steep discount -- like $10 for brand new SNES games in 1996). Later onwards, they switched to a white colored label (I don't have a picture on me at the moment) which served the same purpose.
