Comment by Whyperion SUBS:

There must have been an accounting reason for specifically placing this in The Gramophone Company Ltd.

But if it is not UK, why have Purchase Tax codes (habit?)

Comment by vinyl_dave:

The DT tax code in the centre dates this pressing to 1948-50 (E.M.I.). I have Zonophone 4375, also the Carter Family, with a tax code 'N' which dates the pressing to 1953-55.!!!!! Astounding - since the green Zonophone label had not been seen since 1932. (Here both this and 4375 have modified edge text, commensurate with any other late-40s / 50s E.M.I. label.) Obviously these were in an export series (perhaps to either South Africa or Australia). Question is - when were they actually issued on Zonophone? (And why not in Britain!)
The recordings date from about 1930-32, probably. We can confirm the recording dates according to https://jazzdiscography.com/Artists/carter-family/78rpm-releases.php -
I find these two :
Friday, February 15, 1929 BVE 49864-2 DON'T FORGET THIS SONG
Saturday, May 24, 1930 BVE 59982-2 THE LITTLE LOG HUT IN THE LANE
Released in 1930 on Victor V-40328, also S. African Zonophone 4347 and
(Australian) Zonophone and/or Regal-Zonophone EE.263.
(And the same two titles issued together (no date given) on Montgomery Ward M-7022 (?!). There's a new one on me!)
And, hold on! - they re-recorded that title (it looks as though they didn't forget it!) :
Thursday, May 9, 1935 17506-1 DON'T FORGET THIS SONG
Issued 1937 on A.R.C. 7-01-54.
