No idea!  Its' been 20 years since I had actual records, and I don't remember, except that I always tried to get the earlier pressings.

Quite possible, as it was renumbered in about 1939, so it may very well
have been.  I had only Vivatonals of M83, I think it was - manual - and
the individual English discs, and unless my memory is worse than I think,
both US and UK of the acoustic set.  Ah, those were the days!  Wouldn't have touched the late runumbered version, nor the big Wagner sets that were done at the same time!
