The Soundarts letters do look different from the german ones. 
Strange/unexpected Moz references?

MSN/Wealth of Geeks features stories about musicians who walked away from bands at their heyday; includes this about The Smiths:
The Smiths, fronted by Morrissey and featuring Johnny Marr on guitar, were the go-to group for outsiders who wore a lot of black and connected with English band’s lyrics about vegetarianism, loneliness, longing, literature, and not fitting in. Some of the Smiths’ best-known songs are “Panic,” “How Soon Is Now?,” “This Charming Man,” “Sheila Take a Bow,” and “Girlfriend in a Coma.”
The Smiths’ final album, 1987’s Strangeways, Here We Come, became the highest-charting album in the U.S. for the band. Conflicts between Marr and Morrissey about the future of the Smiths split them apart, with both men embarking on successful solo careers. The 2021 indie film Shoplifters of the World, named after the Smiths song, is about a group of friends reeling from the news of the band’s sudden breakup.
Both Marr and Morrissey play Smiths songs in concert to this day. Although a Smiths reunion might actually make their sullen fans crack something resembling a smile, the Marr-Morrissey beef continues, making the odds of a reunion close to zero.

John Lydon: Anger Is An Energy: My Life Uncensored (2014/15).
I believe it was Malcolm’s mate Bernie Rhodes who spotted me amongst their clientele and said, ‘That’s the one!’ Not Sid, the fashion victim, because that’d be too much of the same old thing. ‘You want the one with a bit of gusto.’ We were an odd bunch of fellas that had started hanging out there. John Gray was very effete, shall we say; Sid was like an oafish model, and me – I don’t know how I came across – probably a bitter, twisted f***. Quiet but fuming. An ‘angry yooong man’, as Morrissey would say.
When we released ‘Death Disco’, it caused great confusion. Was it a dance record? What was it? It certainly didn’t mean ‘death to disco’, as some people interpreted it. In fact, when Morrissey came out with ‘kill the DJ’, I thought he was making a misguided reference. Me? I’d loved my nights down at the Lacy Lady in Ilford, and all the music that went with it, but you can’t be laying down a bog-standard typical disco pattern. It doesn’t mean you need to imitate or duplicate. You advance or destructuralize or whatever it is you need to do, in order to adapt the journey to the content. And Johnny don’t sing in Michael Jackson stanzas.
There were some really good gigs, but I don’t remember a lot of fun touring that album. Mike Joyce from Morrissey’s band was in drumming with us for a short bit, and he and McGeoch were terrible with their Catholic-Protestant arguments. McGeoch would be, ‘I’m blue through and through’, and Joyce would be going on about the wearing of the green! Jesus Christ, what is it you’re going on about? I’d be going, ‘My favourite piece of clothing in the skinhead days was a green and blue mohair suit – remember them suits? Fine, excellent suits, tonics, which were double-shaded, so it reflected green sometimes, blue at others. My tonic was both blue and green! Think about it . . .’

John Lydon: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs (2003)
LYDON: What was the alternative? We played in an awful club in Manchester where there was a bunch of City and United football supporters. The Lesser Free Trade Hall was quite well attended. The Buzzcocks were fine, if not just a bit laughable. They were just starting themsleves. But they weren’t punk imitators; they had their own thing going, which was perfectly fine. I loved them because they did an old Captain Beefheart song. I thought Ha! That will do nicely. The bad joke before the gig was giving a banana and two apples to Pete Shelley!
COOK: Ian Curtis and Morrissey turned up. The Buzzcocks played support. Howard Devoto phoned up Malcolm and got us the gig. It showed us that there were some people outside London who had seen us and hooked on to what we were doing. We always did all right for equipment. That was never a problem. Steve was very good at procuring. Before John was in the band we used to steal a lot of our equipment. We were so poor, we couldn’t afford to buy. There was no other way we could have been in a band or learned to play. Steve was a kleptomaniac at the time, and money was always too scarce to spend on things like equipment. He actually made a living out of being a burglar. We were sorted out quite well. Even drum sets. We did get caught once or twice.

Via webcast, OP says is unique to them.
Hultsfred Festival featured Morrissey that day after their performance.

I have rated this archive YT channel for a long time, but this is a bit of a revelation.
Tim Broad in discussion about music tracks and the music industry.
Note his t-shirt.
Blurb:
Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke with video producer Tim Broad reviewing the weeks new releases on the Night Network video view, may 28th 1988. Tim Broad was a British film director, best known for his music videos for the singer Morrissey. In a 1990 interview, he was described as Morrissey's closest friend. Broad directed the video for The Smiths' songs "Girlfriend in a Coma" and "Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before", and subsequently a number of videos for Morrissey, seven of which were released on the compilation Hulmerist.He also directed the videos for the Mike + The Mechanics' songs "The Living Years" and "Nobody Knows", Marc Almond's "Tears Run Rings" and several songs by The Jesus and Mary Chain.Broad died of an HIV-related illness in 1993 at the age of 38.Recorded from analogue terrestrial broadcast, mono audio. tape number 0300
@davidt and I scoured the archives everywhere for a decent image of Tim - he was beyond elusive.
This popping up 36 years later is amazing.

Thank you for sharing. Jaz comes across as rather intense and 'serious'. As well as referencing Apocalypse Now, clearly a favourite of Morrissey's too, he also appears to reference Koyaanisqatsi, part of the Qatsi trilogy, with music by Philip Glass. All 3 films in the trilogy are well worth watching. Very powerful viewing. Available on Youtube I think for those who want to check out. Best watched in the dark and at maximum volume.
Koyaanisqatsi - Wikipedia
Will have to look up Killing Joke on YouTube. Tim Broad reminds me of someone I met several days ago on my evening walk when I hailed down a man who gave me a small smile as we were passing on the sidewalk, which was my green light to ask him if he’d heard of Morrissey and his song I’m Not A Man. He had hands similar to Tim Broad’s, and a subtle observant demeanour like Tim’s. I’ve been hoping to bump into him again, though his name isn’t Tim Broad and he hasn’t been killed by a disease such as AIDS yet which I just found out Tim died from at 38 if I remember correctly. I agree FWD, that he wore an interesting t-shirt.
