It probably is the same recording I have on the white flexo, but I 
recall a recording of a translation on the reverse side.  My copy has 
labels with a line drawing of St. Peters on the upper half, and I have 
seen shellac pressings with that view as a half-tone photograph.  There 
wouldn't happen to be grooves under the large rear paper label?  And in 
the photo, right behind the pope's right shoulder is Marconi, who also 
spoke on the broadcast.
