Actually I saw this completed auction tonight (it is night here!) and 
assumed you would be interested.

Canadian (HMV-) Victors show the writing in their label areas (this was 
removed
when US Victors were processed) from c.1906 to c.1912. This included artist,
title and m#/take. This was, of course, removed when the matrices were
processed. I don't recall seeing take data to the left of the centre 
hole...?!
