IIRC, my 10/26 catalog is a *US* catalog; dunno if I have ever seen a 7/26
Canadian catalog! Of course, keep in mind that Victor(C) had been 
identifying
"VE Process" records as such from their first appearance...and even issued
the electric/acoustic versions of a Jack Shilkret side paired as a promo 
item!
