There were indeed American Odeon and American Parlophone for a while, divisions 
of OKeh. Discographies list them as ONY and PNY.

As one of the other tracks is specifically identified as originating on American Parlophone ("Three Little Words" as by Frank Brown & His Tooters) and another as originating on English Columbia ("I Must Have That Man" as by Joe Turner & His Memphis Men), it leads me to ask: were these tracks on an American or Canadian branch of Odeon, and exactly what would that label's relationship have been to American Parlophone and OKeh?...
