Now that you mention it, another Decca from that same period has "Any Bonds 
Today" by the Andrews Sisters on side and probably Jimmy Dorsey on the other.

I don't think jukebox pressings should count with the same recording on both 
sides. But there are promos and store demos, like "I Want a Television 
Christmas" which has two versions (both Mindy Carson, I think). And there's a 
party record on Hot Shots that has two different version of "Two Old Maids in a 
Folding Bed" (as well as the occasional Hot Shots that does have the same 
recording on both sides, for juke boxes).
