Okeh, my mistake...I was thinking of Compo recordings, which DO show a
matrix number! I have seen a VERY few Victor(C) PR-series records which
show a numeric matrix number...but that WASN'T standard practice...!

OTOH...what I MEANT was that if the recordings were, for whatever reason,
mastered in the UK (thus explaining the 130* catalog number...?!), the 
matrix
would have appeared in the run-out...!
