Apparently Mercury had a similar series as well.
Here is the link to the discussion posts about the 13-xxxx series: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/rca-victors-7-inch-78-rpm-the-format-that-makes-no-sense.883987/

The only RCA artists I have on 78 after May of 1957 are Elvis Presley, Perry Como, Jim Reeves, Hank Locklin, Don Gibson, and Sammy Salvo. I have seen a few RCA 78s by Bill Carle, Kenny Ottey, The Ames Brothers, and Prez Prado that were released into 1958 however. Supposedly, Roy Orbison released an RCA 78 in the US in October of 1958 as well.

I also heard rumors that 78s were reproduced in parts of Africa, China, Latin America, and the Soviet Union into the early 1980s. I haven't seen any regular releases issued on 78 made after 1976 however and don't have any regular releases on 78 in my collection made after 1966.

It looks like Columbia ceased pressing 78s in the US in June of 1958, though very rarely do I come across Columbia 78s after mid-1957. It is possible that only their best selling artists were released on 78 towards the end of their production. I do know that Columbia continued to press 78s in Canada until at least October of 1959 (though I did hear rumors that “El Paso” and “Theme from a Summer Place” were out on 78 in Canada, which would put the end of their production closer to 1960).

The 78 RPM version seems very rare, as the Canaidan copy that I have and an English pressing on Coral seem to be the only versions that have surfaced thus far. The catalogue number would suggest that it was issued in the US as well.
