I'm not sure if Suspense had a live West Coast repeat.  The first time
she did "Sorry Wrong Number" one of the actors blew his entry in the
final scene and it was ambiguous whether she had been killed, whether he
was one of the killers, and if the cops were on the phone.  They had to
apologize the next week and announce a repeat to be done a few weeks
later.

Vogue, although translucent World vinyl from the mid-30s does look
similar.
