Neither of those links are actually the British version - you can see an explanation of some of the differences at http://www.cesnur.org/2003/dracula/I.htm.  And the one claiming to be the 1897 edition seems to be based on a prior Gutenberg edition that had the same erroneous claim.

I've got an Elibron Classics facsimile of the sixth edition, and an annotated version (by Leonard Wolf) where the text is from a facsimile of the second edition, but that Constable facsimile looks considerably better than either.  I'm thinking I'll pick it up and try to get it scanned by one of the book scanning services - does anyone have any experience with those?  Right now overnight-scanning.eu looks the most interesting, though I'd have to see if they could ship to the US.

Claims to be 1897 (british) edition - and looks like it...

claims to be Constable & Co.  -- FWIW.

 

And Google Books on “dracula bram stoker Constable & Co.” leads to a claimed Dover reprint of Constable – again FWIW.
