Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 4 versions.

Official Judge Precedents

2 Precedents

If you cast a spell that’s both of the listed colors, both abilities will trigger. You’ll remove a total of two -1/-1 counters from the Hatchling.

If there are no -1/-1 counters on it when the triggered ability resolves, the ability does nothing. There is no penalty for not being able to remove a counter.
