Contrary to my previous post about not having these, in fact I do. Here 
are the facts, as far as I can ascertain them.

I have 16921 (no take shown) on Col Special Record 20472 (American 
Novelty Orchestra). The reverse is "Jingle Bells" by the Hoosier Hot Shots.
I have 16292-1 on Rex 8396 (Hollywood Dance Orchestra).
The CSR label is marked as for Radio Stations. It is curious in that it 
has a paper sticker attached to the label which reads "L Army Surplus 
Theme--First 45 seconds."! The vocalist is unknown to me, but sounds a 
little like Ed Kirkeby. The label credit is "Vocal with Instrumental Acc."
