NKJV Pericope set doesn't match printed Bible

I've noticed that the pericope information used in the Logos edition of the NKJV doesn't match the printed versions that I have. I've compared quite a few chapters, but here are just two examples you can easily check: Matt 18 and Jn 1.
Is there a way Logos could give us the section headings actually used by Thomas Nelson, the copyright holder of the NKJV? I'm not sure where the current set came from but it doesn't match any of the 6 printed copies I own which include both really old and brand new editions.

Interesting point, ZM. I was able to confirm that issue with my printed copy (latest copyright date 1983) and my Logos edition, (latest copyright date 1982).

Is your printed version the same publisher and printing as the basis for the Logos edition?

The Holy Bible, New King James Version

The New King James Bible, New Testament
Copyright © 1979 by Thomas Nelson, Inc.

Generally, the pericopes are included in the electronic file provided to Logos by the publisher Thomas Nelson.

The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982).

The copyright information is the same in my printed copies as you quoted above. The full translation came out in 1982. I know that there was actually a revision of the NKJV in 1984 but this is never reflected in copyright.
I have copies published by Thomas Nelson directly but also one by Cambridge University Press and yet another one by Holman Bible Publishers. The pericopes match in all these printed editions. They also match the electronic version on biblegateway.com which is a site owned by HCCP, the parent company of Thomas Nelson.
I'm just not sure why the Logos edition is different. I agree that the pericopes should be provided by the publisher in the same electronic file as the Bible text along with all the footnotes, cross-references and preface.
