[78-L] Mysterious control/matrix numbers HV in Australian HMV pressing

[Sam Hopper]

I'm pretty certain that HV is the Australian matrix as all Aussie pressings of DB numbers have a HV number in runout(?). H may stand for "Homebush" which is the suburb of Sydney where all EMI 78s were pressed... but I stand corrected...

French HMV matrices 2LA2473 and 2474, both first takes. It is an Australian laminated pressing, solid and heavy. The run-out areas also bear other numbers: HV10532 and 10533. Anyone knows what these numbers mean?
