No reason to assume that, especially since the label styles differ between 
parts 3/4 and 5/6. Victor's Canadian recording activity was incredibly sparse 
in those days, except for country (all of it on Bluebird), The Skaters Band (on 
a special two-dollar S-200 label) and a few dance bands. I can't date Reginald 
Stewart's Victors or the Al & Bob Harvey Bluebird disc because Victor didn't 
change to a standard run-out groove until late in 1938. Ernest Seitz's two 
ten-inch Victors could be 1940 or 1941..there are so few numbers being used in 
this series. 130847 and 130848 could be anything, including some British titles 
for which the series was originally intended.
