These shows were from different studios, and these photos are about 4 years apart.
(1969 I Dream Of Jeannie episode) So, I am guessing it is not the same magazine, but a generic industry prop cover. The cover was still around Paramount in 1981 and was used in The Brady Girls Get Married.
Some additional information about this prop was posted here
Also used by Doris Singleton in a 1970 episode of "My Three Sons", and at Ike Godsey's general store on The Waltons in 1980.
Also, in a 1967 episode of "Mannix" (below)
My God, you think they would've given Peter something a little newer...

I guess the same thing as you, simply from a fascinating article I read earlier this year about on screen magazine, newspaper, and book props.
This article https://reelrundown.com/film-industry/Same-newspaper-prop-in-different-movies talks about the Earl Hayes Press company that's been making printed props for Movies and TV for half a century.
The story focuses on how the same newspaper filler has appeared in scripted film since the 60's.
The gist being that the press company has a stock catalog of templates you can order from for generic magazines and newspaper headlines, or they do custom jobs to fit a specific scene, but the interior will still remain generic filler, so the news someone was reading in 1972 is still the same news in 2022, despite the 50 year difference.
I imagine this Home Decor magazine was a stock design that hung around for several years as printable inventory.. and a very popular stock design at that since it got so much use.
Lady Beautiful/Lady Fair is another prop magazine you see on just about every classic 60's sitcom at some point, the exact same front cover image and back cover advertisement but the magazine's name changes slightly... most famously altered into Harpies Bizarre on Bewitched.
If you've ever heard of the famous Wade's Wintergreen gum ad, Earl Hays Press are the people behind that too.
