Much info has been publ. in Germany. See:
http://www.albis-international.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=28
Incl. published Busch disco (Albis 2005; with link to corrections on the web).
These corrections include:

"auf Seite 24 links unten nach der Erwähnung des "Ketten-Albums" einfügen:
Unabhängig von den Takes und den zwei Aufnahmezeiten von 1946 und 1947
wäre eine vollständige Belegung des Albums mit allen 10 Spanienliedern in folgender
Kopplungen möglich.
LdZ 101 Spanien Juli 1936 / Die Thälmann-Kolonne
LdZ 102 Hans Beimler/ Jaramafront
LdZ 103 Der Revoluzzer / Einheitsfront
LdZ 104 Solidarität / Die Moorsoldaten
LdZ 105 Adelante Campesinos / Ballade der XI. Brigade"
---

The Amiga/Eterna/Lied der Zeit labels will be found under the "Etiketten" link, which is (very large page,
with all label types shown):
http://www.albis-international.de/cms/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=72
(enough to keep thomas busy today...)
The LdZ labels, discussed here before, are from 1947-48, but there was also a 1939 label (LdZ 100).
LdZ 105-A label is shown (at ca. the mid of the page).

LdZ 101 has the same coupling as Eterna 122 (mxs Lz-571/568).
Die Thälmann-Kolonne is apparently the only title also recorded for Keynote.

>>> I had a number of Eternas by Ernst Busch..appear to date from the early 50s, 
even with those large labels and old style runouts. Note that Paul Dessau and 
Karl Ernst get the composer credits on this one (side 2).
