Well, since there are twelve color pieces, then they're almost
assuredly from the LD backsides. The fact that you mention they look
like "newstyle" Takada virtually clinches that possibility. To
refresh your memory, as I stated earlier when I first posted about the
Perfect Memory set, the front of each LD has the "oldstyle" artwork as
it appeared on the original discs, while the backsides have "newstyle"
artwork.
I'd been meaning to do this for a while now, so now seems as good a
time as any:
LD 1
front: Madoka reclining w a cup of tea, GIGA0202
back: Madoka in traditional Japanese costume
LD 2
front: Madoka in school uniform, leaning forward, GIGA0180
back: Madoka embracing someone (Kyosuke?), holding rose and gift box
LD 3
front: Madoka and Hikaru, dark pastel brush, GIGA0201
back: Madoka and Hikaru in school uniform, H embracing M from behind
LD 4
front: Madoka on beach, topless from behind, GIGA0179
back: Hikaru in street peering over dark glasses and carrying books
LD 5
front: Madoka lying on sand w flower in her hair, GIGA0178
back: Madoka in pink nightdress w white cat
LD 6
front: Madoka crouched w sneakers tied around her neck, GIGA0177
back: Hikaru in the rain w umbrella, holding dark glasses to her mouth
LD 7
front: Madoka dancing in black top and blue skirt, GIGA0176
back: Madoka and Hikaru embracing underwater, both have eyes closed
LD 8
front: photo of Madoka leaning against Kyosuke, GIGA0222
back: Madoka on beach in white one piece w flower in her hair
LD 9
front: Madoka in red evening gown w white trim and red gloves, GIGA0175
back: "vertical" orientation of Madoka and red hat blowing away
LD 10
front: Madoka in kimono w full moon in background, GIGA0174
back: Madoka holding Hikaru's legs as she does sit-ups
LD 11
front: Madoka standing in front of tub, drying her hair, GIGA0173
back: Madoka pulling up her white sweater, hint of breast
LD 12

back: Madoka zipping herself into dark green dress in front of mirror
and finally, the "artbook"
comes w ad for Miracle Girls on LD, 13 volumes

Interestingly enough, Yukari's credits don't seem to say Wada Kanako.
In fact, they're different from eps 22 and 43.
p 22 nine video clips -- Anime <kanji> Comics <more kanji>
not sure how these particular nine images
relate to the manga, though
p 23 all text -- manga-anime cross-reference table
interesting that not a single manga story from
vol 7 appears in the anime version
back chapter/track listings
There is a great deal of text that would be nice translated, in
particular the synopses, which would then yield an "official" synopsis
for all 48 episodes.
And, to repeat: The only new artwork is the cover.

The files for the pictures on the back, along with these descriptions, are
at server.berkeley.edu:/pub/anime/KOR/images/LD_Covers.
They're also probably on Venice somewhere.
