Song on one side is Jezebel, RHCO 4455.  Song on the other side is Jealousy (Jalousie), RHCO 4595.  Both sides show album # 50006. <snip>

It is in fact a 78-rpm reissue of two earlier sides:

Jezebel — original release Columbia 39367 (45-rpm 4-39367). Recorded at Radio Recorders, Hollywood, 4 Apr 1951 (you have the matrix numbers already for both sides).
Jealousy — original release Columbia 39585 (45-rpm 4-39585). Recorded at Radio Recorders, Hollywood, circa Sep 1951. (45worlds database gives date of 26 Oct 1951 which is more likely a release date.)

Take care,
