[78-L] My first MAPL side on a 78 rpm?

One genre that I collect is Canadiana. I judge a disc by the old MAPL
formula (Music, Artist, Production, Lyrics) which was used to determine
Canadian content for radio stations.
I think my pal Bud has sold me my first wholly MAPL side. Can anyone
confirm that this side by Wilf "Montana Slim" Carter and the Calgary
Stampeders was recorded in Canada, and if so, where? It's RCA Victor cat
#58-01000-B. The artists, the music and lyrics are clearly Canadian, so
it qualifies for MAL, at least.
I may have a MAPL side which predates the Wilf Carter acquisition. It's
another cowboy platter by Dixie Bill Hilton and the Calgary Range Riders
on Apex (cat# 26364). It's called "Thousand miles at sea", but with no
songwriting credits. It's b/w "Careless ways", which I'm guessing is a
standard country song from the U.S.A.
How can I date this disc and place the recording location?
