I would have to (1) find the right milk box(es)...and (2) look at their 
contents...to
provide a totally-accurate answer here! However, Bell (also originally 
Arto-based)
dropped its P- series around 125 or so...although continuing the numbers.

Also, I have a Globe 72?? disc which was visibly NOT an Arto product...
suggesting that Globe, like Bell, continued post-Arto! The GG-pressed
Globe 7*** discs were GG "race" issues...they also appeared on GG
et al with the same 7K numbers.

This is further confused by the fact that Arto (and its client labels) used
two different series, with different prefixes...one for "popular" issues
and one for "standard!" IIRC, I detail all this in my DG...?!
