Comment by scrough:

This SRS series duplicated some of the numbers used. This record was released as No.35/36, but another record was released (R 3132 by the Teddy Wilson Trio) also as No. 35/36 in Sept 1948. R 3132 was later probably renumbered as No.57/58 of the series. See http://www.concertinas.org.uk/AncientAudio/RS-1947+V1.pdf for listings of the SRS series from 1948 onwards.

Par R-2832 - The last golden Parlophone is the next record, R-2833 with Bix's Margie, released 1 Feb 1942. There are several (I think 3) golden label types. Par R-1194 is Second New Rhythm Style Series No.1 Garland Wilson / No.2 Armstrong, Weather Bird.

The Parlophone name lost the golden background around February/March 1942.

We do have a little label guide under https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/label/parlophone

It says:
In May 1932, the Second New Rhythm Style Series introduced a new label design with the Parlophone name on a golden background. This design was also used on the later Super Rhythm Style Series and on the Jazz Classics Series until February 1942. Then the golden background was replaced with a blue one. From mid-1947, the R-prefix was followed by a period. From Jan. 1949, the label is surrounded by a longer patent text that takes up 2/3 of the margin.

This filled gold print label variation ended sometime in 1942, not sure which was the last number but does looks more attractive.

The blue/white A side label (image 2100274) has a D above a T stamped into the area to the left of the spindle hole. This is an example of a repress with the first DT (Double Tax, 66⅔%) purchase tax code that was in force between April 15, 1942 and April 13, 1943. The TT (Triple Tax, 100%) tax sticker must have been attached in mid-April 1943, when the next purchase tax rate was introduced. See http://www.78rpm.net.nz/mechcopy/mech7.htm

By the way, these tax rates, imposed on luxury goods, are truly staggering. Compared to that, the current UK VAT of 20% is modest, but it also covers far more goods and services.
