I do know that the film Driller Killer was sent to the DPP and was banned but it was nothing to do with the cover.

...Well there was certainly some controversy with the cover when it was advertised in various trade magazines (it was one of the controversies that got the Nasties ball rolling) but I've never heard officially that any film was banned just for the art. However, I think that it may have been the case for a few films, such was the hysteria that was brewing.
Keep in mind that Mary Whitehouse herself, without any shame, once voiced in an interview that she'd never seen a Video Nasty and that she didn't have to see that something was obscene to know it was...which I think completely undermines her argument but c'est la vie.
