The earliest other card is Bronzong 6/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Daisuke Ito illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Bronzong list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

BREAKthrough set binder is where a full BREAKthrough set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Bronzong can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
