Here is a video I found that shows the differences between the two editions of the Oracle of Shadows and Light.
Below, I have scanned cards from my Oracle of the Shapeshifters (Australian edition) and compared them to the images on Amazon of the US version that are different.
The images on the LEFT are the Australian version, and the images on the RIGHT are the US version.

Oh, Kiki--
This is fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to share all of these contrasting cards. I can see, now, how it would be great to have both versions, as a few of the newer U.S. cards are more engaging to me than their Oz-zy cousins.
Well, I think I'll just go ahead and buy the U.S. version right now, because, LOOK, there's an Amazon button RIGHT HERE!
Hugs,

You're welcome! It took me forever to get them all scanned and cropped, etc. So I very much appreciate your thanks!
I know... I might have to get both US versions of the decks, just to have the cards I prefer in the newer editions. But there are also some I prefer in the Aussie versions, so I'm glad to have those also.
Thanks for showing the differences between both versions. I like the Australian version better. The pictures just seen to vibe with me more. I just ordered Oracle of the Shapeshifters and can not wait to get it! : ) Thanks again for posting the differences.
My pleasure, Lisa. I'm glad it was helpful to you. :) I hope you enjoy your new deck!
I already have the US Version on pre-order, but it's fascinating to get a sneek peek at the differences. Thanks, Kiki! :)
My pleasure, Chloe! :)
Great collection! These cards are truly very beautiful. I want to purchase these cards for me. I will contact you soon.
