The Decca version I have is the "Stereo Treasury" release and has a date of 1960;  the RCA recording has no date.  They certainly sound similar and I've listened in vain for any noise or flub which would identify the recording, but I don't understand why both companies would have the same recording in the same markets at the same time, (although the RCA isn't dated, the Soria series came out around 1960 as I recall).
