Super-comma

How do I know if I need to use the super-comma in this sentence?

Does the meaning chance if i do use a comma after truth?

The mysterious nymph, which appeared to us within the darkest gloom, represents fearlessness, truth, and purity.

The mysterious nymph, which appeared to us within the darkest gloom, represents fearlessness, truth and purity.

To me, there is no difference in meaning. If I am not mistaken, the first sentence is AmE, while the second is British English.

I am one of two editors of our group's newsletter. My fellow editor and leave out the commas before the "and" of a series but the publisher always puts them back in.
It is a matter of the style guide that the organization uses. They want to use the same style guide for all their publications.
