My original copies of The Hobbit & LotR are from the 1960's and are the Ballantine paperbacks. All four have the surrealistic pictures that seem to match nothing in the story.
I also have an oversized paperback boxed set from 1978 (Houghton Mifflin) with LotR & The Hobbit. The books are beige and box is green.
I have paperback & hardback of The Silm (same picture on cover of both of Tolkein's drawing of a mountain pass). Hardback is Houghton Mifflin 1977; paperback is Ballantine 1979.

I have a single-bound version of the trilogy in a red leather (or pleather, not sure, really) binding with a slide on type case.
I also have this "collector's edition" of LotR. It was much cheaper when I bought it in the 1970's than it is now. I also have a very similar "collector's edition" of The Hobbit that is illustrated with Tolkein's drawings & paintings.
