Found a bit more on their site now.

See the comment fron 'VAN' dated 13th July and the informative replies given by the Associtation

http://www.westernfrontassociation.com/guestbook/

The main difference between the WFA offer and the NA download is that you get a coloured photo of front and back of 'your' card not a grainy image of a batch of six plus of course there may be additional info on the rear.

From WFR - I think I have read that it will be 5.00 for a copy of the MIC (front and back - there may be info. there apparently). 
NA only display front online, but both if you visit Kew.

The NA do-not show both sides of the Medal index card. Its only the WFA that can do that now. You have to pay them £5.00 for both sides, However they do-not tell you if there is info on the back of the card, So you could pay the £5.00 and may only get the front of the card with info on it, & the back of the card with nought.

Thanks Themonstar.  I had not realised that. 
Great advice.
