NBC sold the FDR sets directly, initially from an announcement in a monthly
or quarterly newsletter they had in the 40s.  They were something like $15
for the pair.  They seem to show up often enough, much more than The Quick
and the Dead despite the star appeal of Bob Hope.  I don't remember if I
have the FDR set booklet. As for the 16-inch pressings, they obviously would
be just for broadcast insiders but they would certainly be impractical for
their home use.  The 78 sets
were meant for the general public as well as insiders.

Are the 16-inch sets on AFRS discs. I've not seen them in Australia where as
the I can hear it now has turned up on AFRS 16 sets plus the 78 and 33 rrpm
sets.
