I don't know about US vs European style, but the circles predate the triangles. The 1981 Supplement to the TTL Data Book from Texas Instruments has an entire chapter on "Explanation of New Logic Symbols" and displays new style logic symbols for the new ICs that are presented elsewhere in the book.
Best of luck. In terms of subscribers, its a very under rated channel.
I just happen to have a m68k EVM, 1979 vintage, the very first one in Western Canada...

circles on the active low pins are US style symbols. the triangles are the DIN norm that is in use in europe.
