By the way, I skimmed the 60s Brothers in Arms and it's, er, excellent/scary depending on your point of view! I think I might prefer the version of One World to the original...
I don't hear a cover or a "version" of the song here. It's a completely different song with other chords progression. The only same thing are the lyrics
I can see the interest in covering a song with different arrangements (instruments, tempo, even rhythm signature, etc...), but if you change all the music by another music, I don't get the point 
Man's Too Strong is pretty close. You can make the argument that they need to change chords etc here and there to make it fit in with trends of the time.
imho, I think that you can fit with trends of the time just with orchestrations, instruments, etc... no needs to change the chords progression
we all know plenty covers of songs that have been changed only by sounds/ arangements and keeping the original harmony
I think that it's the challenge : making a song sounding like from another era, just by playing it differently, but not by changing its chords structure
here I just hear same lyrics on differents musics
