Many thanks, Ken!  Where did you find this information? Some online source that I wasn't able to locate, or a print reference?
 
You're right, my father would probably have bought these records at a PX in Japan. He was stationed at Itami airbase near Osaka for a while.
 
Thanks also to those who replied about the defaced logos on these records. It's unfortunate that people thought that was a good idea at the time.
