Some of George Harrison's compositions were issued by publishers like Charles Hansen Publication (*1) using the same editions as the U.S. releases, and it appears they were also distributed in the UK market.

(*1) Charles Hansen Publication (also known as Chas. H. Hansen Music Corp.) was once a highly influential music publisher in the American music industry.
The company is particularly significant for Beatles fans, collectors, and music enthusiasts, especially in the field of concert bands. One of its most notable achievements was securing the exclusive U.S. rights to publish and distribute Beatles sheet music (including piano and guitar arrangements) starting in 1964. During the height of Beatlemania, the firm released a vast catalog of sheet music, playing a vital role in supporting the culture of young Americans performing their songs. (from Wiki.)
