The Japanese dub of Thomas & Friends is mostly accurate the original version (aside from using voice actors), but there's one scene from Pop Goes the Diesel that I find interestingly changed from English.

When Diesel calls the Fat Controller by the wrong name, and Duck corrects him with "Sir Topham Hatt," instead of getting it right the second time, he, whether intentionally or not, calls him "Sir Tom-Ham Hatt," (a bit hard to parse from the audio) which is incredibly funny.

That's actually a VERY GOOD question.

There's a scene in Xrd Sign when Bedman is interrupted from fighting Zato=ONE (after having defeated Chipp/Faust) when Ariels contacts him saying "something came up" and that he had to "return" to "take care of something", but it's not actually made clear "what" exactly he was asked to do after that brief retreat.

I can tell you, at least based on the physical appearance of the person he killed in his own Story Mode, that the "person working for the Vampire" is NOT Leon Mining, for two main reasons:

It's made semi-clear that Slayer was not fully aware of the Conclave's movements at the time, nor did he have any prior intel on Bedman… nor was he in any way associated with the Postwar Administration Bureau (even suggesting the idea he had a mole among their agents). The "agent" that was working for Slayer was trusted enough to be tasked with gathering such info, which is the opposite case with Leon Mining himself (meaning Leon could NOT be fully trusted, not by Venom or Slayer, as he was still working with the Conclave, even if he did provide intel on Zato's Resurrection. That intel might have been a trap to lure in Venom who was a key figure of the Assassins.).

The second piece of information (about Leon Mining himself) comes from Night of Knives, which relates to his personality, voice, and appearance:

Leon Mining refers to himself as "A Man who Grieves for his Nation."

This is actually a subtle reference to ONE and ONLY ONE character in Japanese Fiction: Daisuke Gori.

He goes primarily by the character Edajima Heihachi in various anime, but he is most famous for his role as Heihachi Mishima in the Tekken series.

The catchphrase "A Man who Grieves for his Nation" is actually spoken verbatim by Heihachi a few times throughout anime and pop culture based on the various roles Daisuke Gori has taken over the years.

Just like I-No's voice Actress Kikuko Inoe loves to say she's "Forever Seventeen", this was Gori's catchphrase.

In other words, it's HEAVILY IMPLIED that Leon Mining himself is an "incarnation" of Heihachi that somehow existed in Guilty Gear's World and Timeline… interesting trivia to think about!
